HTML email

[santhas]

How can I embed a HTML formated file into email via perl on SOlaris. When I print it into email it prints like

/font></TD>
<TD WIDTH = 2% BGCOLOR = #F0F0F0>&nbsp</TD> <TD ALIGN = LEFT WIDTH = 45% BGCOLOR = #F0F0F0> <font size = 2 face = 'Courier New' color = navy> <U>OW REQUESTS (IAPF940)</U> </font></TD> <TD ALIGN = LEFT WIDTH = 50% BGCOLOR = #F0F0F0> <font size = 2 face = 'Courier New' color = blue> All files processed successfully </font></TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN = RIGHT WIDTH = 3% BGCOLOR = #F8F8F8> <font size = 2 face = 'Courier New' color = black>
1
</font></TD>

If I call sendmail program through shell script and cat the file to the email it works fine ( receives email with HTML format).

Any help

Thanks

Hi

You have to send it MIME formatted. Easier with a module, for example MIME::Lite.

And I do not believe it receives HTML mail. Probably the mail client detects the content type and decides to render it as HTML.
