Thanks for the pointer, t0m!
We switched to Mail::Sender -- it opens a connection to the SMTP server
immediately, and pipes the output generating on -the-fly, instead of
accumulating beaucoup megabytes in RAM to then ship off the whole thing at
once.
Wound up doing as you suggested:
use base 'Catalyst::View::TT';
use Email::MIME;
use Mail::Sender; # <= woo hoo!
use Moose;
sub render { ... }
And within render() we purloined chunks of the templating approach
(generate_part) from Catalyst::View::Email::Template in order to still use
the templates approach (one for HTML, one for text).
Works a treat!
