HTML message body / PDF attachments
Hello
I have solved the issue in the following manner : . the following shell script sends text/html as message body, and pdf files as attachment

Code:
#Create the Send Options
    subject="Subject Line"

#Create header part of the email
    echo "From:""${sendername}""<"${senderaddress}">">>${tempfile}
    echo "To:"${emailid}>>${tempfile}
    echo "Mime-Version:1.0"${version}>>${tempfile}
    echo "Content-Type:Multipart/mixed;boundary=Message-Boundary-"${boundary}>>${tempfile}
    echo "Subject:"${subject}>>${tempfile}

#Delivery Receipt is returned here
    echo "Return-Receipt- To:""${sendername}""<"${senderaddress}">">>${tempfile}

    echo "Message-Id:<"${messid}"."${senderdomain}>>${tempfile}
    echo "">>${tempfile}
    echo "">>${tempfile}
    echo "--Message-Boundary-"${boundary}>>${tempfile}
    echo "Content-type:text/html;charset=US-ASCII">>${tempfile}
    echo "Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT">>${tempfile}
    echo "Content-Disposition:inline">>${tempfile}
    echo "Content-Description: Read Me First">>${tempfile}
    echo "">>${tempfile}
    echo "">>${tempfile}

#Create Msg body part of the email file
       {
         while read line_data
         do
           echo "${line_data}""
           ">>${tempfile}
         done
       }<${emailfile}

#uuencode the attachment
      echo "ATTACHMENTS"
      echo "--Message-Boundary-"${boundary}>>${tempfile}
      echo "Content-type:Application/Octet-Stream;name=${ATTACHFILE};type=Binary">>${tempfile}
      echo "Content-disposition:inline;filename=${ATTACHFILE}">>${tempfile}
      echo "Content-transfer-encoding: X-UUencode">>${tempfile}
      echo "--Message-Boundary-"${boundary}>>${tempfile}
      echo "">>${tempfile}
      uuencode ${ATTACHFILE} ${ATTACHFILE} >>${tempfile}

##Send temp file to sendmail
       /usr/lib/sendmail ${emailid} < ${tempfile};EXITSTATUS=$?

Thanks

html::quoted

HTML::Quoted(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 HTML::Quoted(3pm)

NAME

       HTML::Quoted - extract structure of quoted HTML mail message

SYNOPSIS

	   use HTML::Quoted;
	   my $html = '...';
	   my $struct = HTML::Quoted->extract( $html );

DESCRIPTION

       Parses and extracts quotation structure out of a HTML message.  Purpose and returned structures are very similar to Text::Quoted.

SUPPORTED FORMATS

       Variouse MUAs use quite different approaches for quoting in mails.

       Some use blockquote tag and it's quite easy to parse.

       Some wrap text into p tags and add '>' in the beginning of the paragraphs.

       Things gettign messier when it's an HTML reply on plain text mail thread.

       If you found format that is not supported then file a bug report via rt.cpan.org with as short as possible example. Test file is even
       better. Test file with patch is the best. Not obviouse patches without tests suck.

METHODS

   extract
	   my $struct = HTML::Quoted->extract( $html );

       Takes a string with HTML and returns array reference. Each element in the array either array or hash. For example:

	   [
	       { 'raw' => 'Hi,' },
	       { 'raw' => '<div><br><div>On date X wrote:<br>' },
	       [
		    { 'raw' => '<blockquote>' },
		    { 'raw' => 'Hello,' },
		    { 'raw' => '<div>How are you?</div>' },
		    { 'raw' => '</blockquote>' }
	       ],
	       ...
	   ]

       Hashes represent a part of the html. The following keys are meaningful at the moment:

       o   raw - raw HTML

       o   quoter_raw, quoter - raw and decoded (entities are converted) quoter if block is prefixed with quoting characters
