Hello,
Notes5 have problems with MIME emails (internally it converts HTML
code to Notes Rich Text). This problems have been solved in 6 or
higher versions.
Another thing, if you want to send an html email you have to add MIME headers:
An example:
#!/usr/bin/posix/sh
(
cat <<!
MIME-Version: 1.1
From:from@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
To: to@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Subject: This is the subject of the mail. Date: $(date)
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="_boundarystring"
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
--_boundarystring
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Base: "http://somewebsite.com/";
<html>
<body><font size=4>This</font> is a <i>test</i>.<br>
text line1<br>
<FONT FACE="Courier New">
12345678901234567890<br>
text line2<br>
</FONT>
</body>
</html>
--_boundarystring--
