AFAIU the colored cat is not being evaluated. If you like to have it done, you should use command expansion
Code:
cat - <<EOF
...
$( cat ${input_file_HTML} )
...
EOF

input_file_HTML should be exported too, to be available in the subshell.
My E-Mail(roundcube) client does not display the mail as probably wanted. The header fields are shown as Mailbody.
Hello stomp,

Yes, I have tried but still it is putting code as in form of text into email as follows.
Code:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename: 
Input_file_HTML

So it is taking that code as a text and printing it before Input_file_HTML's data into email.

Thanks,
R. Singh
