Hello,
I want to sendout mail the following way:
sendmail -t < filename
where the file 'filename' contains some header lines, especially To:
Subject: and From: and as well the body of the mail; all is in UTF-8
and I know I have to encode the header lines and says something about
the body. With Perl it goes like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use utf8;
use Encode;
open (MAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail -t");
$x="Subject: ... with some UTF-8 chars";
$x_for_header = Encode::encode('MIME-Q', $x);
print MAIL "From: .......\n";
print MAIL "To: .......\n";
print MAIL $x_for_header."\n";
print MAIL "Content-type: text/xml\;charset=UTF-8\n";
print MAIL "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n";
print MAIL "\n";
... now the plain UTF-8 body follows
close(MAIL) || warn "Error closing mail: $!";
}
How can I encode the header lines (like the above Subject: line) not
using Perl, i.e. with plain shell tools; I've checked out metamail and
such stuff, but they don't help. Any idea? Thanks in advance
matthias
