[NTLUG:Discuss] sending an HTML email from command line

[Michael Patrick]

Hi Jackson,

I just did the following:

mail -s "HTML test" a-mpat at microsoft.com < index.html

and got the index.html file as the body of the e-mail on my work machine.

System info:
Redhat 7.1 
Exim is the local mailserver
