Question Display both html and plain text in email in shell script
Hi,

I want to display both html and plain in email in my script.

i tried the below code

code:

Code:
export MAILTO="ssi@a.com"
export CONTENT1="$htmlfile"
export CONTENT2="$plainfile"
export SUBJECT="INFO "
export MAILFROM="si@a.com"
(
echo "Subject: $SUBJECT"
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
echo "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=boundary-content_example";
echo "Content-Disposition: inline"
echo "--boundary-content_example"
echo "Content-Type: text/html"
cat $CONTENT
 
echo "--boundary-content_example"
echo "Content-Type: text/plain"
cat $CONTENT

echo "--boundary-content_example--"

) | sendmail -f $MAILFROM  $MAILTO


this is not working Smilie. I can see html page only no plaintext in email..

Please suggest me how to display both. Smilie

Did you want the files as attachments? Why not just send the email twice?

Hi
You can try to cat for display as text file...
Code:
<PRE> `cat file` </PRE>

<PRE> tag display the file as it is....

When you <pre> you need to escape [<>'"&] like & to &amp;, which sed can do.
Code:
$ cat mysrc/txt2html
#!/usr/bin/sed -f
 
s/\&/&amp;/g
s/"/\&quot/g
s/>/\&gt;/g
s/</\&lt;/g
s/'/\&apos;/g
