You discovered that TT was better than reinventing the Template wheel.
Why would you reinvent the email wheel?
Grab Mail::Mailer from CPAN. Build the body with TT and use perl code to set
the recipients. I've done exactly what you're doing and I know your pain. I
had to send html-mail to email clients and a stripped down minimail to
pagers at the same time.
Better still, when you discover the need to stack mime-attachments to your
email one day, you'll add one or two lines and be done. Or when you need to
declare the content type.
