dmennis,
OK. Here it is. I struggled with the same problem and there is a lot more to it than just "using MIME". That is all well and good, but you can drive yourself crazy on that. Your MIME verbage and following html code could be perfect and it still not work.
My team here found that we could not use the UNIX mail command. Instead, we used a "cat" command and piped it to a telnet session directly to the mail server.
The syntax is like this:
cat /u1/data/testfile | telnet localhost 25
it then worked beautifully. The test file is a simple text file with the standard MIME headers and html text following.
Hope this helps!
