She wants to periodically and automatically mail a web page from *nix
to a Netscape user and have it appear as HTML, not as raw ASCII. I
suggested:
You can MIME encode and send from the command line with Mutt:
mutt -s "daily data" -a ~/data.html [EMAIL PROTECTED] < ~/boilerplate_text
"data.html" is the HTML formatted file, "boilerplate_text" is any file
(to make mutt happy), and "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is the recipient address .
You can create a shell script that will issue this command periodically
using cron.
It seems to work, though there may be better ways.
