Sending HTML mails with mailx

Mike,
I have tried to send an HTML doc with mailx, but on receipt (thru MS EXchange) it comes through as plain text HTML code... I guess I need to put relevant headers on the mail so MS Exchange knows it should present the message in HTML format. Any ideas?? Adam F

Looking at the source tab for an HTML email in Outlook Express, this is the source for an "Hello World" email.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<META content="MSHTML 6.00.2715.400" name=GENERATOR>
<STYLE></STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello World</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
Could you just copy MS's HTML email format?

"Experience is the comb that Nature gives us after we are bald."
Is that a haiku?
I never could get the hang
of writing those things.
