I am using html to format documents, like invoices.  I can add graphics,
change fonts and colors and all sorts of nifty stuff.  I want to use mail or
pine or something to send these html files so they will pull up in the mail
client formatted.  If you simply do a 'mail [email protected] < invoice.html'
joe will see a bunch of <html><body></body></html>.  What is needed is a
simple 'Content-type: TEXT/HTML' in the mail header.  For the life of me, I
can't find a command line option or configuration file option to make mail
or pine insert this line.  If I add the line to my html, it is ignored
because there is a space between the authentic header information and my
addition.  If I edit the mail on my linux mailserver, delete the space and
then pop the mail into Outlook, it pulls up fine.  I tried another Linux
mailing list and all I got was lectures about how you shouldn't mail html
and html was a bad way to do it, etc.  I am not a spammer and have
legitimate reasons for wanting to do it this way.  Help!
