HTML Mail from Command Line

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

pipe it through mimencode and do other massaging to it.  You do
realize HTML mail is not standardized, don't you?

Send yourself a few HTML mails from something like Outlook and
you can examine the structure and see what is missing and what
you have to do to make it look the same.
