How to send HTML email with sendmail

[Perllees]

I know how to send normal header mail with sendmail. I've tied to get info about sending HTML via sendmail but not much help. I hope you can help me here. Not urgent just want to know.

Well, this is a great place to get such info,

Simply

print "Content-type: text\html\n\n";

before you print any outgoing html, just sendind the header will let the mail reader know it's html.

Thank Tony,
Your description is too brief. Can you explain in more detail? If you saying about include it this way

open(MAIL,"|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"
print MAIL "To: someone\@email.com";
print MAIL "From: me\@email.com";
print MAIL "Subject: "my subject";
print MAIL "Content-type:text/html\n\n";

html content here ....

close(MAIL);

I've done this but it don't work. Please help.

Of course, if the recipient doesn't have HTML enabled for email it won't help. Meddle not in the affairs of dragons,
For you are crunchy, and good with mustard.
