Sendmail ??

[HPP]

Hi,
We have got a home grown list server (Developed in Perl), which handles group e-mails, subscription. When i post an HTML document to any group, it gives in first few lines as shown below:

Content-Type multipart/mixed;

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

------=_NextPart_000_00E9_01C0F58D.2270DE30
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----=_NextPart_001_00EA_01C0F58D.2276F8B0"


------=_NextPart_001_00EA_01C0F58D.2276F8B0
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit


When is receive the e-mail, i get HTML Source code, instead of actual page. Should i need to make any changes in sendmail.cf? OR something else has to be done?

Help please......

Thanks in advance

first ensure that the script is not clobering the boundary= part of the Content-type header. Por ejemplo:

Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="----_=_NextPart_000_01C0F5C3.B1396390"

In this example, the boundary portion is on the next line preceeded by a tab.

uuencode myfile.html myfile.html | mailx -s "sending a html mail"

uudecode myfile.html.mail

It could be your mail reader. For example, older versions of Outlook show HTML source code, while newer versions show the page as it would appear in IE.

Try another mail reader...
