Actually, I just verified that you can send an HTML email using MailAll.exe. You have
to place the entire MIME formatted email into the text file that you pass into the
MialAll utility...Including the full headers.
Just cut & paste the full HTML email (including the headers and all MIME segments)
from one of your MBX files and try it with that. It will work. At least it did for
me using 7.14.

You need another utility.
The problem is that E-mail is text, unless something is used to send
non-text (such as MIME, uuencode, etc.). For HTML, the only real standard
is MIME. However, for MIME to work, you have to have access to the headers
of the E-mail. If all you have is access to the body of the E-mail, MIME
headers won't work (you need MIME headers in the headers of the E-mail so
that whatever is reading the E-mail knows that it is to be treated as a
MIME E-mail).
So no matter how you may format the body of the E-mail, it will still
appear as text. Note that uuencode and other encoding methods won't work
either -- although they can appear in the body of an E-mail, they always
appear as attachments (never inline, as the MIME HTML does).
