=head1 NAME
Mail::Send - Simple electronic mail interface
=head1 SYNOPSIS
require Mail::Send;
$msg = Mail::Send->new;
$msg = Mail::Send->new(Subject => 'example', To => 'timbo');
$msg->to('user@host');
$msg->to('user@host', 'user2@example.com');
$msg->subject('example subject');
$msg->cc('user@host');
$msg->bcc('someone@else');
$msg->set($header, @values);
$msg->add($header, @values);
$msg->delete($header);
# Launch mailer and set headers. The filehandle returned
# by open() is an instance of the Mail::Mailer class.
# Arguments to the open() method are passed to the Mail::Mailer
# constructor.
$fh = $msg->open; # some default mailer
$fh = $msg->open('sendmail'); # explicit
print $fh "Body of message";
$fh->close # complete the message and send it
or die "couldn't send whole message: $!\n";
=head1 DESCRIPTION
L<Mail::Send|Mail::Send> creates e-mail messages without using the L<Mail::Header|Mail::Header>
knowledge, which means that all escaping and folding must be done by
you! Simplicity has its price.
When you have time, take a look at Mail::Transport
=head1 METHODS
=head2 Constructors
Mail::Send-E<gt>B<new>(PAIRS)
=over 4
A list of header fields (provided as key-value PAIRS) can be
used to initialize the object.

with the knowledge collected in this Mail::Send object.
