Eventually, Im looking to replace it with something home brewed. My main worry is that I dont have much experience of the internals of MIME, so its probably a little out of my league - although no doubt there's a perl module that I can 'lean' on ;)

Hack the script again to add "Mime-Version: 1.0" and "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit" to all outgoing mail. This should fix it.

See how easy it is to generate properly-encoded MIME mail? Wasn't so hard, was it? Buy.com, Hotmail.com, and other organizations who can't do that are just a bunch of bloomin' idiots.

Thanks Sam, I added those two lines, and everything seems to work okay. In the headers of a received email, it even tells me that Courier has automagically converted the document to 7bit for my viewing pleasure :)

I think I should go do some reading up on MIME... maybe it isn't as scary as everyone makes out ;)
