Hi all,

Please, PLEASE help me!!!! 

I've recently been charged with making our small stand alone server
email an HTML file, daily to a group of people. The HTML file is written
each nmorning by an old simple application. I need to set up a cron or
other non-interactive process to send the HTML file out each day.

I've successfully gotten sendmail (as installed with Internet Services
on our 11.0 D330, sendmail v8.8 I think) working. I've also set up an
alias list to send email to the group of people. All this works file.

I have successfully gotten mailx to send the HTML file:

cat msg.html | mailx -s "your daily report" appl_list

This works great!  EXCEPT!!! ...the headers in the email that mailx
places at the top of the message NEVER indicate that the following
portion is text/html.  It always indicatesa content type of text/plain.

EXAMPLE:

From - Fri Nov 30 17:38:48 2001
Return-Path: <root@diamond.newton.coop.com>

...

How do I get mailx to set the Content-Type: to text/html ?????

If necessary I could use elm in file mode but I have the EXACT same
problem with it, too. HELP!

TIA, I'll summarize.
