HTML message body / PDF attachments

Hello
I have solved the issue in the following manner : . the following shell script sends text/html as message body, and pdf files as attachment

Code:
#Create the Send Options
    subject="Subject Line"

#Create header part of the email
    echo "From:""${sendername}""<"${senderaddress}">">>${tempfile}
    echo "To:"${emailid}>>${tempfile}
    echo "Mime-Version:1.0"${version}>>${tempfile}
    echo "Content-Type:Multipart/mixed;boundary=Message-Boundary-"${boundary}>>${tempfile}
    echo "Subject:"${subject}>>${tempfile}

#Delivery Receipt is returned here
    echo "Return-Receipt- To:""${sendername}""<"${senderaddress}">">>${tempfile}

    echo "Message-Id:<"${messid}"."${senderdomain}>>${tempfile}
    echo "">>${tempfile}
    echo "">>${tempfile}
    echo "--Message-Boundary-"${boundary}>>${tempfile}
    echo "Content-type:text/html;charset=US-ASCII">>${tempfile}
    echo "Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT">>${tempfile}
    echo "Content-Disposition:inline">>${tempfile}
    echo "Content-Description: Read Me First">>${tempfile}
    echo "">>${tempfile}
    echo "">>${tempfile}

#Create Msg body part of the email file
       {
         while read line_data
         do
           echo "${line_data}""
           ">>${tempfile}
         done
       }<${emailfile}

#uuencode the attachment
      echo "ATTACHMENTS"
      echo "--Message-Boundary-"${boundary}>>${tempfile}
      echo "Content-type:Application/Octet-Stream;name=${ATTACHFILE};type=Binary">>${tempfile}
      echo "Content-disposition:inline;filename=${ATTACHFILE}">>${tempfile}
      echo "Content-transfer-encoding: X-UUencode">>${tempfile}
      echo "--Message-Boundary-"${boundary}>>${tempfile}
      echo "">>${tempfile}
      uuencode ${ATTACHFILE} ${ATTACHFILE} >>${tempfile}

##Send temp file to sendmail
       /usr/lib/sendmail ${emailid} < ${tempfile};EXITSTATUS=$?

Thanks

ELM with HTML body

Hi Ygor,

I tried to use the same code for command elm in HP9000 environment, but it does not work. Can you help? Thanks.

export SUBJECT="Subject"
(
 echo "Subject: $SUBJECT"
 echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
 echo "Content-Type: text/html"
 echo "Content-Disposition: inline"
 cat $CONTENT
) | /usr/sbin/sendmail $MAILTO
