Mailx html

A blast from the past!

mailx is a command-line email client that was widely used in the past, especially in Unix-like systems. While it's still available in many systems, it's not as popular as it used to be, especially with the rise of graphical email clients and web-based email services.

To send an HTML email using mailx, you can use the -a option followed by the name of the file containing the HTML content. Here's an example:

mailx -s "Subject" -a /path/to/html/email.html [email protected]

This will send an email with the subject "Subject" and the HTML content from the file /path/to/html/email.html to the recipient [email protected].

If you want to include attachments, you can use the -a option multiple times, like this:

mailx -s "Subject" -a /path/to/html/email.html -a /path/to/attachment1.txt -a /path/to/attachment2.pdf [email protected]

This will send an email with the subject "Subject", the HTML content from the file /path/to/html/email.html, and the attachments /path/to/attachment1.txt and /path/to/attachment2.pdf to the recipient [email protected].

Note that mailx uses the MIME format to encode the email, so you'll need to make sure that the HTML content is properly encoded and formatted for email transmission.

Also, keep in mind that mailx is a text-based email client, so you won't get the same level of formatting and styling as you would with a graphical email client or a web-based email service.
