What do you mean by "No Use!". Tell us what exactly is the issue that you are facing?

For testing, try this code and see if you are getting a formatted email:
Code:
{
        echo "<html>"
        echo "<body>"
        echo "<table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=3>"
        echo "<tr>"
        echo "<td align=center><font face=verdana size=2 color=#FF0000>PikK45</font></td>"
        echo "</tr>"
        echo "</table>"
        echo "</body>"
        echo "</html>"
} | mailx -m -s "Test HTML
Content-type: text/html" user@domain.com

Put it in a file, change the recipient address and run it.

Please show us exactly what you did do then, word for word, letter for letter, keystroke for keystroke, so that we won't suggest things you've already done again.

@Yoda, Corona688: Sorry that I did not give you enough details.

I tried Yoda's test script and it was successful. But when I tried last time, I guess I should have done some silly mistakes.

Anyway, Yoda saved me this time Smilie Smilie

Yes, you can do many neat things overloading the mailx -s / Subject: line into mime directives, like importance.

Hi PiKK, I have Recently worked on such an requirement. In this case u have to spool a file from the database using any colsep( set colsep ".") Then embed those data with html tags into an html file. Then need to send that html file as the content.

If things are not clear i can write a dummy code for you.

@Showdown: Thanks for your concern. That's what I did exactly Smilie
@DGPickett: Is there any example of overloading that mailx's subject line??

Can you offer me examples or a link that has it?
