Mutt for html body and multiple html & pdf attachments
Hi all:

Been racking my brain on this for the last couple of days and what has been most frustrating is that this is the last piece I need to complete a project.

There are numerous posts discussing mutt in this forum and others but I have been unable to find similar issues.

Running with RHEL 5.5, mutt 1.4.2.2i, perl 5.8.8

The issue is sending emails from command line using mutt. These emails can have 0 attachments to 5 attachments that can be a mix of html and/or pdf. Sending an email with html body/no attachments was simple;

Code:
system("/usr/bin/mutt -s \"Support\" -- \"$cust\" < $body");

Works, no problems.

When the -a options are included for the attachments I am still able to have the mail sent and it is received with an html body but the attachments become in line with the body making them unusable. If I add the
Quote:
-e my_hdr Content-Type:text/html
then the attachments are received fine but the body is plain text with all of the html markups in view.

I can add the
Quote:
-e my_hdr Content-Type:text/html
on the command line or in .muttrc, same effect. An example of the CLI;
Code:
system("/usr/bin/mutt -e \"my_hdr Content-Type:text/html\" -s \"Support\" @attach -- \"$cust\" < $body");

.

How can I do this? It seems like I need the
Quote:
my_hdr Content-Type:text/html
off for the body of the email and then to turn it on for the attachments.

I was using MIME::Lite in a perl-cgi script but when the pdf attachments wouldn't work I was able to track it down to the
Quote:
POST vs GET
. There are numerous problems with pdf attachments originating from perl-cgi using the MIME::Lite module, mainly they would arrive in a corrupted state and not properly decoded making them unusable. The html attachments were fine.

If at all possible I want to avoid having to install another package. My feeling is that I will encounter similar issues other clients like mpack. Plus they are not installed and there are many hoops to jump through to get them installed.

Many thanks!
