RE: HTML Mail from Command Line
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.

Thanks for your reply Ted. I don't have a mimencode binary on my system and nothing in the ports tree. I am using FreeBSD 5.3-Release. And yes I realise it isnt standardised, however I just want to email myself a html page, displaying system statistics.

It's part of /usr/ports/mail/metamail There's plenty other ASCII-to-MIME converters. Anyway, this is just part of the solution.
