I am trying to use mutt to send emails with the following characteristics: 1. Mail whose content is html - I can do this by specify -e "my_hdr Content-Type: text/html", and formatting the message as a pure html file, e.g. no extra headers.
2. Mail whose content is html, but must all support attachments. I also need be able to send emails from the command line. There is a further constraint that I have to use mull v. 1.2.5.1i It does not seem possible to use mutt to achieve this. If I specify the -e "my_hdr ..." and the -a option within the same email, the ultimate header received in the email at the recipient contains Content-Type: text/html which isn't correct, mutt should have used: Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="45Z9DzgjV8m4Oswq" If I don't specify the -e, then the section with the message, which is html, is formatted as this: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline If I try to invoke mutt like this: -e "my_hdr Content-Type: text/html" \ -e "my_hdr Mime-Version: 1.0" \ -e "my_hdr Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"IS0zKkzwUGydFO0o\"" \ -e "my_hdr Content-Disposition: inline" \ mutt throws an error Error in command line: boundary=IS0zKkzwUGydFO0o: unknown commandS If I try formatting a complete email and use the -H option with mutt, mutt strips out the multipart/mixed boundary line. Why? So, is it possible to specify the Content-Type: header inside a multipart mime email with mutt? Thanks for any help.
