ssmtp has been running well under Kubuntu 12.04.1 for plain text messages. I would like to send html messages with ssmtp -t < /path/to/the/message.txt, but I cannot seem to get the message.txt file properly formatted. I have tried various charsets,
Content-Transfer-Encoding, rearranging the order, including \r\n, etc. The message comes through with only the "To:" being acknowledged. The remainder of the file text appears in the body as plain text.
Here is an example:
To: Admin<Me@SomePlace.com>
From: Some Network App<Do_Not_Reply@SomePlace.com>
Subject: Some App Notice
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8"
<html>
<body>
<h2>Some app blah blah!</h2>
</body>
</html>
What am I doing wrong?
