Re: Directly changing To & From field in the header

I copied your suggestion directly into the script I presented, 
Gilles. I get exactly the same error message.
    /Library/Perl/5.8.1/Mail/Message/Head/Complete.pm: Line 172:
    Can't call method "clone" without a package or object reference

The problem came up when I was tried to create a plain text mail 
message and then, in a loop, change the to-field and body before 
sending it out. So far I've been totally unsuccessful in doing this. 
Perhaps the way I had been doing it before was better anyway. Then I 
would just create a new head, new body, and new message on each 
iteration of the loop.

Thanks for your advice. I wish it had worked.

Regards,

Vic
