I just want to chime in and say that once you've formatted the message and
named it appropriately, you've already gone through the same amount of
detail-mucking you would do with Mail::Send with Net::SMTP.  The primary
benefit to this solution, though, is that MacPerl doesn't have to sit there
and send each mail, it can let EIMS do it instead, which is not a big deal
usually, but it a very big deal for many messages.  It can also be a big
deal when a server cannot be found and the message needs to be resent
later, etc.
