mailx question

[Tom Weinstock]

Wow! Reading the forum pages here, I have learned quite a bit about sendmail and mailx. I now know how to send attachemnts using sendmail and mailx. Thanks to all who contributed to my new knowledge!

I do have a question that I couldn't find in the forum pages. What I am looking to do is take an HTML file and have it open in Outlook as a formatted page rather than as an attachment. I know that there is something that can be done with content headers and whatnot, but I am unsure how to proceed. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

There is an option in the preferences for Outlook to activate html. This is, however, a horribly insecure thing to do. Along with all of the other security holes in Outlook, you've now given the world the abiltiy to auto-run whatever they want through your e-mail via html.

Caveat Emptor, and all that.

Thanks for the quick reply Mark. Much appreciated. Outlook is already opening messages in Web format, so we're good to go there. When I try to mailx an HTML file to myself, all I receive is the source code as the body. I have managed to send the HTML file as an attachment, but I am now looking to take it to the next level.
