How to send email including pictures (from the command line)
I know it is a strange question, but I wonder how this can be done. If I see a home page with Netscape, I can forward this page to somebody as e-mail. The receiver will have the pictures, background, .. everything included. I want to know how I can prepare such a file, so that I can use: cat file |mail -s subject receiver@mail.com so that the receiver get the mail like I would do with Netscape. bye Ronald Ronald Wiplinger (ÃQ¤¯¯Ç), CEO, ELMIT - The Solution Provider Tel. +886 2 8809-7680, Fax. +886 2 2809-0183, Mobile: +886 915 653-452 Net2Phone:8869550066, ICQ: 111651169 http://www.elmit.com http://www.wiplinger.org

Yes, no. Netscape's mailer can send "Rich" (HTML) mail if configured that way, but no, the entire contens from <html> to </html> are actually sent in the mail. Have you ever used a mime-capable text mode email client? It's quite annoying to deal with HTML... ===== -- -=|JP|=- Hit me! - http://www.xanga.com/cowboydren/ Jon Pennington | Debian 2.3 -o) cowboydren @ yahoo . com | Auto Enthusiast /\\ Kansas City, MO, USA | ICQ UIN 69 67 29 31 _\_V
you could save the webpage as a postscript file, then use a ps to html converter then mail the file On Wed, 24 Oct 2001, Ronald Wiplinger wrote:
