Hello, I wrote a perl application that sends an HTML email to an AOL account. As I attempt to view the email in AOL, it seems as if AOL parsed and added the following line Original line of code: ---------------------- <IMG src="http://www.mywebsite.org/images/spacer.gif" width=1 height=1> Parsed / Viewed line of code: ------------------------------- <IMG src="http://www.mywebsite.org/images/spacer.gif" width=1 height=1><A HREF="http://www.mywebsite.org/images/spacer.gif">http://www.www.mywebsite.o rg/images/spacer.gif</A> Sending the HTML email from Outlook Express works perfectly. The perl program utilizes Mime::Lite to send the mail: $msg = MIME::Lite->new( From => $From, To => $To, Subject => $Subject, Reply-To => $Reply, Type => 'multipart/related' ); $msg->attach(Type => 'text/html', Data => $message_data ); Any ideas?
