Mail::Send - Simple electronic mail interface

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  require Mail::Send;

  $msg = Mail::Send->new;
  $msg = Mail::Send->new(Subject => 'example', To => 'timbo');

  $msg->to('user@host');
  $msg->to('user@host', 'user2@example.com');
  $msg->subject('example subject');
  $msg->cc('user@host');
  $msg->bcc('someone@else');

  $msg->set($header, @values);
  $msg->add($header, @values);
  $msg->delete($header);

  # Launch mailer and set headers. The filehandle returned
  # by open() is an instance of the Mail::Mailer class.
  # Arguments to the open() method are passed to the Mail::Mailer
  # constructor.

  $fh = $msg->open;   # some default mailer
  $fh = $msg->open('sendmail'); # explicit
  print $fh "Body of message";
  $fh->close          # complete the message and send it
      or die "couldn't send whole message: $!\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

L<Mail::Send|Mail::Send> creates e-mail messages without using the L<Mail::Header|Mail::Header>
knowledge, which means that all escaping and folding must be done by
you!  Simplicity has its price.

When you have time, take a look at Mail::Transport
