Let's say your message looks something like this :








Some properly coded html (no cheating, i.e. every tag must be properly closed, no relying on default closures)




then :

(echo "Content-Type: text/html;charset=us-ascii";\
> echo "Subject: Dummy Subject Line";\
> echo " ";\
> cat msg.html) | sendmail user@domain.com

make sure all the images are addressed fully in your msg.html file, not relative to a certain directory but with all the server name and paths included. Also do not skip the blank echo line in the command as it is the header and content separator and some email clients do not like when this blank line is absent.

I tested using my server and outlook 2002 SP-2 and it works like charm

hope this helps

Jorge -
We do this on a regular basis. After creating your html format the following would accomplish the email as an attachment.

uuencode Your_formatted_file CPU_RECAP.html | mailx -s "GUMBY MONTHLY CPU REPORT" someone@somwhere.com
