First - don't send HTML to the list, even if you send a plain text copy as well. It's considered rude. Some people are using mail readers that don't handle HTML; others are reading the digest, which looses the MIME information needed to read the message (this is a bug in the digester that I've PR'ed already). > I currently use the very useful 'mail' command from the command line and from > scripts to e-mail output of a progam.

A quick "make search key=mime" in /usr/ports turns up /usr/ports/converters/mpack. That should do the job for you. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
