Hi all,

I need some with unix shell scripts. i am trying to e-mail a html
file as an attachment. I am using this code:

rpt_mail=xyz@abc.com
file=/home/usrid/test.htm
subject=status report

do_mail()
{
cat ${file} | mailx -s "${subject}" ${rpt_mail}
}

do_mail


The problem with the above code is i am seeing all the html tags in the
body of the e-mail. I want to see the html page in the body of the
e-mail wthout any tags. Can any one know how to do this..

Thanks alot,
Raj

You will have to mime encode your html stuff before you pipe it to mail.

Use "mutt" or "nail" instead of mailx if possible. Both have switches
that allow you to attach a file (as opposed to inserting it into the body).

Google is your friend.

Slackware now distributes the former "nail" as "mailx" ...
