| I have a script which creates a text file for each of several users.
However, the contents of the file are rarely enough to warrant it. I'd
much rather place the information inside the email instead of attaching
it as a file. I haven't been able to find anything to explain how to do
this though. Although, something tells me I'm completely over-thinking it.
Can someone help?

Could you explain a bit more about this? What email? If you're attaching
it then that must mean you're creating the email so what's stopping you
putting the text in the body of the message? How are you creating the email?
Cheers,
Nigel

| I'm using MIME::Lite to create the email. It is being generated as I'm
able to send out all the emails necessary.
The way I'm doing it now is to use a variable which holds a small
message to be inserted into the email. However, I don't know how to
dynamically format that variable with the data I'm sending.
The data looks like this:
Ticket ID hh:mm
---------------------
000000 00:00
111111 11:11
222222 22:22
And so on. That is what gets placed in the file but I'd prefer it be
placed inside the email.

| I typically use a HEREDOC to format my email messages. You can do all
sort of things by sending the email as HTML of you want as well.

| I'll have to look at the HEREDOC option. I'm not familiar with that.
As for HTML, people here get quite frisky when they don't get plain text
emails.

| my $BODY = <<"END_TXT";
This is the message that will be passed and you
can even put $variables into it and they will
be interpolated.
END_TXT
Then you just pass $BODY to however you constructed your MIME::Lite call.
HTH,
