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_at_fromserver.com
To: to_at_toserver.com
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>This is a test. text line1 

12345678901234567890 
text line2

</FONT>
</body>
</html>

--_boundarystring--
!
) | /usr/lib/sendmail -t -n -v
