It seems to me that you need a couple of other things: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
1. a look at a couple of the html emails in my inbox show a mail |
| 4 |
header (ie part of the email where stuff like from, to and subject go) like this: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
MIME-Version: 1.0 |
| 7 |
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; |
| 8 |
boundary="----_=_NextPart_001_01C5B8D9.821B04F0" |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
you can add extra headers using the mail command with the -a parameter |
| 11 |
(according to man mail) |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
" -a Specify additional header fields on the command line such as "X-Loop: foo@bar" etc. You have to use |
| 14 |
quotes if the string contains spaces. This argument may be specified more than once, the headers |
| 15 |
will then be concatenated." |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
2. The body of the message must be in mime format using the same "boundary" as is specified in the header like this: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
------_=_NextPart_001_01C5B8D9.821B04F0 |
| 20 |
Content-Type: text/plain |
| 21 |
(here is the text part of the message) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
------_=_NextPart_001_01C5B8D9.821B04F0 |
| 24 |
Content-Type: text/html |
| 25 |
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> |
| 28 |
<HTML> (all the html bits) |
| 29 |
</HTML> |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
below that the boundary is specified again: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
------_=_NextPart_001_01C5B8D9.821B04F0-- |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
(thats the very last line in the file) |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
3. i tried using mpack to make an html message from the command line, |
| 39 |
but it didn't work - I might be doing something wrong. |
