$emailsig->attach {
    cid         = [email protected],
    file        = /var/emailsig/image1.jpeg,
    mimetype    = image/jpeg,
    disposition = inline,

DESCRIPTION

Email::Signature is used to add a signature to emails. It tries to be as intelligent as possible. It attempts to position the signature as would be required by a normal user: for a reply that is top-posted, it tries to put it after the user's reply; for a bottom-posted or inline reply it adds it at the end.

Signatures can consist of HTML and plain text, plus attachments that can be either inline or normal attachments.

FUNCTIONS

new

new creates a new Email::Signature. It takes an optional argument of a hash with the key 'footer', containing the footer as per footer, and/or key 'addHtmlPart' as per addHtmlPart.

footer($hashref)

footer() specifies the footer text for the signature. It takes a hashref, with the keys html and plain. HTML can include image tags that specify the content-IDs of images added later.

addHtmlPart(0|1)

addHtmlPart() specifies whether to add a HTML part if it is missing. It takes a value of 0 or 1 as required. If called without any arguments it returns the current setting.

attach($hashref)

attach() attaches a single file. It can be called multiple times to attach several files. It takes a hashref, which at a minimum must specify file and mimetype keys. In addition, it may also contain cid and disposition keys.

sign(Mail::Message)

sign() adds the previously defined signature to a Mail::Message. It returns the Mail::Message object with the signature added.

CAVEATS

Attempting to find the correct place to insert the footer is difficult. Only a limited number of email clients and languages have been provisioned for and tested. Please help by providing patches for better support.
