Are you using sendmail ?

Are you sending in html format ?

Post your command and the sample contents and desired output

It's just a text file in linux. Yes, i send it by email. But i want to put some colors into it when it arrives in my email. With shell i know i cannt do it.

The file looks like this:

"Find below report for last three mons:

January- IP logs report
etc etc etc etc
February - IP logs report
etc etc etc etc..."

i want that the subjects like "January - IP logs report" to be blue, in order to distinguish, because the report is really long.

Thank u in advance!!!

your file should be like this..
Code:
<html>
<body>
<font color=blue><b>January- IP logs report</b></font>
etc etc etc etc
<font color=blue><b>February - IP logs report</b></font>
etc etc etc etc...
</body>
<html>

And you need to use sendmail
Code:
(
echo "From: abc@xyz.com "
echo "To: abc@xyz.com "
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
echo "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; " 
echo "Subject: Test HTML e-mail." 
cat filename
) | sendmail -t

Code:
$ awk 'BEGIN{print "<html><body>"}/report/{$0="<font color=blue>"$0"</font>"}END{print "</body></html>"}1' file.txt

the above code will put the font color, where ever it find the word report.
