[Haskell-beginners] SMTPClient + hsemail-1.6 = errors

[Robert Wills]

HaskellNet contains an smtp client as well.

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/HaskellNet

It worked last time I checked.

main = do
 con <- connectSMTP smtpServer
 let msg = ([("From", "HaskellNet <" ++ sendFrom ++
">"),("Subject","Test")], BS.pack "\r\nhello from haskellnet")
 sendMail sendFrom sendTo (BS.pack $ show $ showMessage "utf-8" msg) con
 closeSMTP con

Regards,
Rob
