Linux mail font?


Hi, Is there a way to change/specify the font while sending the mail from Linux sendmail? I have dozens of monitoring mails sending the alert and formatted status reports to my outlook. The mails will be much more readable if it arrives in my outlook inbox pre-formatted with Courier or New Courier font(without changing my outlooks default font). Any clue?

Thanks in advance.

Sendmail is an mta (mail transfer agent), not an email client. If you want to send html mail that MS-Outlook will format on screen, you will have to specify the html tags in the body of the message that tell Outlook how you want to see it on screen. Perhaps you could filter the status reports through an html formatter? Don't know specifically what program would do that for you, but you can certainly investigate the options using Google, or even apropos from the command-line.
