HTML treats all white space as a single space, unless <PRE> or similar tags change the formatting. <PRE> looks like plain text but allows hyperlinks, but you have to escape literal &'"<> as &amp; (do amp first) &apos; &quot; &lt; &gt; . If you want to have the pretty fonts and data that aligns, you need a "<TABLE><TR><TD>a1<TD>a2<TR><td>b1...</Table>". You can postprocess UNIX command output to add the necessary tags and escapes using sed or such. Web stuff is a lot easier to script in PERL, as there are libs for all sorts of web stuff, almost PERLs reason for being, but I live without it, so if you want, you can, too.

For the mechanics of sending, there are several ways, and you can see the formats from your own html mail. Many clients send a plain text version along with html mail for primitive recipient client support.

DESCRIPTION

       The  program  unrtf  is	a  converter from Rich Text Format (RTF) to a growing number of document formats. At present it supports Hypertext

       caps,  allcaps,	expand,  compress  and	both  foreground and background colors.  Images are always stored to separate files in the current
       directory, or they can be ignored.
