send HTML mail from command line

[Guest_imported]

Can anybody tell me how to send mail formatted as html via command line (i.e. sendmail or mailx) ?

I have tried
cat file.html | mailx -s "subject" recipient@mail.com

but that ends up as plain text with html tags.

All help appreciated!

IIRC, you have to add some extra headers. Depending on how you want it to come out, you may be able to add:

content-type: text/html

But I'm not entirely sure if you can pass headers like that to sendmail. If you had procmail installed, you could use the formail program to add headers, I think the switch is something like:

formail -A "headername: value"

Hope that gives you an idea on where to start --
