Net::SMTP gives you everything you need to send email, but no more. You have
to do some things yourself. The module takes care of the SMTP envelope, and
you must specify the message headers. You can do something like this:
$header = qq(From: "Scotticus Purcellicus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n)
. qq(To: "Marcus Thomicus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n)
. qq(Subject: This is my subject\n)
. qq(Importance: High\n) # Marks message with "!" in Outlook
. qq(X-Arbitrary: Any other headers you might want\n)
. qq(\n);
Append your message to this before sending. This will take care of your
Subject and "proper" from line, etc.

You can do all of this with Net::SMTP. Mail::Sender may save you a few steps
because it has methods for attaching mail, etc. Net::SMTP is arguably more
standard, but to my knowledge isn't bundled with any distributions of perl
(though I would really like to see libnet bundled with Perl).
