echo mypage.htm | mutt -s "hello news" myemail@gmail.com

frenchn00b · 03-01-2008, 09:14 AM

Hello,

bash:
I would like to send an email with the content of it of HTML, so that it sends and displays an html when I open it wiht google mail.

Is there any way ? I guess that mutt should be capable of sending text as html.

I use nbsmtp and not sendmail.

thanks

Do want to send the html file as an attachment, like this?

Code:

mutt -s "testing" -a February-26-2008.html mygmail@gmail.com < /dev/null

I would like it in the text (not in attachment)

more like

Code:

cat page.htm  | mutt -s "hello"  emailaddressse@gmail.com

homey · 03-03-2008, 05:00 AM

That worked on my fc8 box

Code:

cat page.htm  | mutt -s "hello"  emailaddressse@gmail.com

rpm -qa |grep mail
mailx-8.1.1-46.fc7
mailcap-2.1.25-1.fc8

rpm -qa |grep mutt
mutt-1.5.17-2.fc8

cd nbsmtp-1.00   ; make clean  ; ./configure --enable-ssl ; make ; make install

Try "-i" for "Specify a file to include into the body of a message."

Sorry if I am pretty crap in linux, but I got the following error :

Code:

mutt -i /tmp/page.htm -e "Content-type: text/html; charset=us-ascii"  -s foobar myemail@gmail.com < /dev/null
Error in command line: Content-type:: unknown command

and without -e and string, it is still not working...
that's not so easy.

I am looking forward to reading you !!

thank you in advance

You forgot the parameter (a mutt parameter) "my_hdr".

You just change the mime type in the mail header and the mail with html content gets interpreted as html.

My command:

mutt -i your.html -e "my_hdr Content-Type: text/html" -s foobar you@gmail.com < /dev/null

You tried:

mutt -i /tmp/page.htm -e "Content-type: text/html; charset=us-ascii" -s foobar myemail@gmail.com < /dev/null
