How do I tell mail (or pine, or whatever) that the piped in file is html?
I'm writting a cron job and first it generates a HTML file, then grabs a list of email addresses and fires them to the people...
I've been testing with the command line using: mail someone@somewhere.com -s Subject < file.html

But once I look at it, it comes through as plain text not html. I've added a <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> as the first line of my html file and still no go.

Is there some kind of command line flag to specify the file's mime type?

-----------------------------------------

At this point I have some sample code that should allow me to talk straight to the SMTP daemon via sockets, and through some telnet testing it looks like I have the mail headers down for sending the file as html to multiple recipients.

Thanks in advance.

simplify

SIMPLIFY(1)						      General Commands Manual						       SIMPLIFY(1)

NAME

       simplify - a script to simplify a MIME message

SYNOPSIS

       simplify [args ...] < message > othermessage

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the simplify command.  simplify is a Perl script to simplify a MIME message.

       This script never loads the entire message into memory, but does dump it's entire contents to disk once.

OPTIONS

       mime=no
	      Don't use MIME, no HTML mail allowed.

       testing=yes
	      Run in testing mode (suppress randonmess)

       saveall=yes
	      Save all attachments to files.

       temp=/path/to/working/dir/
	      Defaults to /tmp.

       url=http://box/path/
	      URL-prefix for printing paths to attachments

       header=text...
	      Text preceding the attachment URL list.

       textsig=/path/to/file
	      Text signature to append to text parts.

       htmlsig=/path/to/file
	      HTML signature to append to HTML parts.

       If  "saveall"  is yes, then the script will save all attachments to disk so people can access their contents later.  If an URL is specified
       then that automatically implies "saveall=yes".  Without this, the default behavior is to only save text and html parts, and delete them and
       all working directories when the script is finished.
