I have a Perl script which sends emails using mime::lite.

$EmailContent is created in a home grown text editor and the added as a var to the body in the script below.

Code: 
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
From =>'email@domain.co.uk',
To =>	$results1[0],
Subject =>'NewsLetter',
Type =>'multipart/related',
Date => '0'
);
$msg->attach(
Type => 'text/html',
Data => qq{
	<body>
	$EmailContent
	</body>
   	},
);
$msg->send();

All has been working fine but I get a strange problem when I put in a link to a .pdf file.

Adding the line:-
Code: 
Click <a href='[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.domain.co.uk/graha.pdf'>here</a>[/URL] to see a short video about it.
creates a proper link in Outlook Express but the link appears as
Code: 
[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.domain.co.uk/grah!%20a.pdf[/URL]
in Windows mail.

Can anyone suggest a cure?

Turn on the debug and it would probably show what went wrong, such as "text of length limited to 1000 octets" or something else.
[tt] $msg->send([blue]Debug=>1[/blue]);[/tt]

The debug code gives me the following error and the email is not sent.

Code: 
Status: 500 Content-type: text/html 
Software error:
Can't locate object method "send_by_Debug" via package "MIME::Lite" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/MIME/Lite.pm line 2451.
