is your mutt supports -e then use it like below

Code:
mutt -e "my_hdr Content-Type: text/html" -s " System Status $DATE" -a $ATTACHMENT -- $MAILADDR < $SUBJECTFILE

I not get this in my e-mail, but now no attachment.

Code:
--3V7upXqbjpZ4EhLz Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hi, Attached is the current status of the System Kind Regards --3V7upXqbjpZ4EhLz Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Status.html" --3V7upXqbjpZ4EhLz--

Does this mean that my mutt doesn't support -e? I did mutt --help and the -e was listed thoguh.

I look at all three those posts. It seems like I'm going round in circles. I again have it attaching the HTML file, but the HTML file is empty. If I jsut run it without doing a mailer, the correct information is displayed on the screen. The problem is actually geting the information display on screen into an e-mail and then sending it to the distribution list.

Code:
# ===================================================================== #
#     GATHERS AND DISPLAYS THE STATUS OF THE SYSTEM   #
# ===================================================================== #
function ATTACHMENT
{
cat "<<-Status
  <html>
  <head>
  <title>$TITLE</title>
  </head>
 
  <body>
  <h1>$TITLE</h1>
  <p></p>
  $(drive_space)
  $(backup_size)
  <body>
  </html>
Status"> $ATTACHMENT
}
# ===================================================================== #
#    GATHERS INFORMATION AND SEND MESSAGE ATTACHMENT    #
# ===================================================================== #
 
if [ "$MAILCONTENT" = "files" ]
 then
 mutt -e "set content_type=text/html" -s "System Status $DATE" -a $ATTACHMENT -- $MAILADDR <$SUBJECTFILE
fi
 
exit 0

This:
Code:
Status"> $ATTACHMENT

Does not work. You need to redirect to a file on the first line of the here-document, for example:
Code:
cat <<-_Status_ > file

I really have no clue what I am doing wrong. I have now changed it and it nots creating an attachment anymore. I've read all the other forums and links and even went through a complete tutorial but I really have no clue what I am doing wrong.

Code:
function ATTACHMENT
{
cat <<-_Status_ > $ATTACHMENT
 
  <html>
  <head>
  <title>$TITLE</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <h1>$TITLE</h1>
  <p></p>
  $drive_space
  $backup_size
  <body>
  </html>
_Status_
}
# ===================================================================== #
#    GATHERS INFORMATION AND SEND MESSAGE ATTACHMENT    #
# ===================================================================== #
 
if [ "$MAILCONTENT" = "files" ]
 then
 mutt -e "set content_type=text/html" -s "OTRS System Status $DATE" -a $ATTACHMENT -- $MAILADDR <$SUBJECTFILE
fi

Error messages
Status.html: No such file or directory
Status.html: unable to attach file.

}
ATTACHMENT  #calling the function
