Hello all I have a script called ‘report.php’ that generates a report in HTML. This report must be created at regular intervals; hence I have set up a cron job to call that script. The output of ‘report.php’ must be sent by e-mail. I use the following command: /usr/bin/lynx -source http://server.com/report.php | mail -s "Report" foo@bar.com This works fine. The result of report.php is sent to foo@bar.com. However, the results do not appear as HTML in the e-mail client, but as text. This is due to the fact that the headers saying ‘This is HTML’ are missing from the e-mail message sent. Does anyone know how it is possible to get 'mail' to add suitable headers to the above command, so that the receiving e-mail client knows that it is getting an HTML and not a text message? Any help would be gratefully received. TIA. S. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
