You can use the "send" command:
#!/bin/bash
echo "To: user at isp.com" > /root/Mail/html.msg
echo "Subject: I have no idea" >> /root/Mail/html.msg
cat whatever.html >> /root/Mail/html.msg
/usr/bin/send /root/Mail/html.msg
While I've never tried this with an html file, It works just fine
with plain text.
