mailbody to be html file


Hi Guys,

I am having a html file which i need to send as a mail body but this sends the file in text format.

I am using the mail and mutt command but both are not working.

cat <<mail.html>> | mail -s "hi" <<mailid>>

cat <<mail.html>> | mutt -s "hi> <<mailid>>

Include the -a option to have mutt MIME-encode the file as an attachment.

mutt -s "Hi" -a mail.html emailaddr

You don't need to use cat here - most programs can read from STDIN or accept a file argument.
