[buug] email in HTML using sendmail

[John Levine]

I'm not really an expert on this, but I think you need to pay attention to
the MIME type in the email.  Sendmail is not involved.  I'm sure there is
some five line perl script somewhere which automates what you want
(http://www.cpan.org/).

RFC's for MIME:

Sorry I can't give you the name of a command.
