I think that a beginner would find easier to install just a module, run a 
command for creating a model, then use a single method to send a UTF-8 
encoded email, with attachments and images shown in the HTML part of the 
message than using C::V::Email and create each part of the message, do the 
encoding of headers and add attachments (if possible).

I don't understand why you think that my module won't be helpful for many 
beginners and even for the advanced users, because it is easier to use it 
for sending email, with one or more attachments, taken from static files or 
from templates of different types, template files or from variables...

The model I wanted to do can do more than C::V::Email and easier, so I don't 
think it pollutes the CPAN.

If there is another simpler way to send UTF-8 encoded email messages with a 
text and an html part, with inline images and attachments from files and 
templates, then you are right and I would probably like to use that module, 
so please tell me about it.

Thank you.
