Since you are in perl script, why not use Mime::lite. It works fine.

You can attach a file using the -a command-line flag, so that probably
does what you want.  Even such a slick little number as mutt is a big
sledgehammer for this little job; why not use something simple like
metamail, which is designed for command-line MIME mailing, instead?

Mutt in a program

2000-06-06 Thread Steven Malkos

Can I use mutt to send HTML pages through the body of a email?

I have a perl program that will call mutt through the system command, and I
would
like to send a mail message using mutt's mime feature to display the body of
my email
as HTML, how would I accomplish this.

Thanks,
Steve
