RE: [Re: [SLUG] Need Help With LWP and newlines]
Hi Angus: I think I can see my problem. I'm surprise I did not see it before. After studying the format returned from the form, as pasted below, all the body has to be in HTML format. I'm sending the data as plain text from the LWP script. This raises my next question, does LWP has a way to send data between text and html format, or this is not even related to LWP at all ? I don't want to have to write something to convert the text message in HTML format. There must be some Perl module that does this, or something else ? Anyone know what I need ? I will try a small HTML test to the form, and see how the email I receive back is formatted, just to make sure that this is the problem. Basically after each paragraph I need this "CRLFText" etc Louis. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Louis Selvon Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 01:44 PM To: Angus Lees; Louis Selvon Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Re: [SLUG] Need Help With LWP and newlines] >Angus Lees <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Angus. >you probably need to have CRLF pairs instead of simple newlines (\r\n instead of \n). *** Yes I am using "\r", and "\n".
