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! Also: do not forget to escape leading dots. Simplicity has its price.
When you have time, take a look at Mail::Transport which is part of
the MailBox suite.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 Constructors
=over 4
=item Mail::Send-E<gt>B<new>(PAIRS)
A list of header fields (provided as key-value PAIRS) can be used to
initialize the object, limited to the few provided as method: C<to>,
C<subject>, C<cc>, and C<bcc>. For other header fields, use L<add()|Mail::Send/"Header fields">.

=head2 Header fields
=over 4
=item $obj-E<gt>B<add>($fieldname, @values)
Add values to the list of defined values for the $fieldname.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<bcc>(@values)
=item $obj-E<gt>B<cc>(@values)
=item $obj-E<gt>B<delete>($fieldname)
=item $obj-E<gt>B<set>($fieldname, @values)
The @values will replace the old values for the $fieldname. Returned is
the LIST of values after modification.
=item $obj-E<gt>B<subject>(@values)
=item $obj-E<gt>B<to>(@values)
=back
=head2 Sending
=over 4
=item $obj-E<gt>B<open>(%options)
The %options are used to initiate a mailer object via
L<Mail::Mailer::new()|Mail::Mailer/"Constructors">. Then L<Mail::Mailer::open()|Mail::Mailer/"Constructors"> is called
with the knowledge collected in this C<Mail::Send> object.
Be warned: this module implements raw smtp, which means that you have
to escape lines which start with a dot, by adding one in front.
