Depending on your mail server and mail client you may need to uuencode your html file;

uuencode XX.html XX.html | mailx -s"subject"

Hi Yan,

I forgot that u need to send in html format and given u the simple cmd. Stefan's cmd is correct, But After receiving the mail message u have to decode the program by first saving the message in a file, for example "xx.mail" and execute:
uudecode xx.mail
