Using MIME to send html files
I am a programmer, but need to work with UNIX in this particular situation. I am used to the plain "mail -s" command and also familiar with how to send attachments in html... but I now need to send an email (not an attachment) in html format so I can embed links... etc.
I am told MIME is the way to go, but I am not sure what to do with that information.
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks

MIME(1) General Commands Manual MIME(1)
NAME
MIME - Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions
SYNOPSIS
Not a command -- see the SEE ALSO section for usable commands.
DESCRIPTION
MIME is the official proposed standard format for extended Internet electronic mail. The MIME format permits email to include enhanced
text, graphics, audio, and more, in a standardized and interoperable manner. If you send and receive mail with a MIME-compliant mail sys-
tem, you will be able to send and receive far more than ASCII text.
Various different people and companies are implementing MIME-compliant software. This man page was provided, by user request, as part of
the freely-available "metamail" distribution from Bellcore. Metamail provides a complete MIME implementation, but there may well be others
at your site, too. The "SEE ALSO" section only refers to the tools that came as part of the metamail distribution.
