Not the answer you were looking for but I use the Mail::Sendmail module for HTML messages. It's easy to use and portable ...

larivee's on the right track. Piping directly to sendmail can be easily exploited so using one of the many mailing modules (MIME::Lite, Mail::Sendmail, Mail::Mailer etc.).

In any case - I don't understand your problem. You say that it sends the mail but 'just sends the html'. Isn't that what it's supposed to do?
