Re: HTML in e-mail
This is old, but I've just gotten down to about 5000 unread messages
in debian-user from 9000+, reading threaded by subject <g>.
Have one of your people send YOU an email with OutLook or NetScape
that contains HTML. Chop the headers out of that and use your script
to prepend the headers to your text/html files.
Here are the relevant parts from an html message I found in the list.
Note that it sends plain text as the first part of the message then
html as the second part. Your mail should decide which is
appropriate to view. You should need only the 'Content-Type:
text/html;' part to send only html.
Mail readers may also look for the META tags in the html source so
you may want to include that.
