I need to send email with html format. I have only linux command line and command \"mail\".

Currently have used:

echo \"To: address@example.com\" >

    Command Line

    Create a file named tmp.html with the following contents:

    <b>my bold message</b>

    Next, paste the following into the command line (parentheses and all):

    (
  echo To: youremail@blah.com
  echo From: el@defiant.com
  echo "Content-Type: text/html; "
  echo Subject: a logfile
  echo
  cat tmp.html
) | sendmail -t

    The mail will be dispatched including a bold message due to the <b> element.

    Shell Script

    As a script, save the following as email.sh:

    ARG_EMAIL_TO="recipient@domain.com"
ARG_EMAIL_FROM="Your Name <you@host.com>"
ARG_EMAIL_SUBJECT="Subject Line"

(
  echo "To: ${ARG_EMAIL_TO}"
  echo "From: ${ARG_EMAIL_FROM}"
  echo "Subject: ${ARG_EMAIL_SUBJECT}"
  echo "Mime-Version: 1.0"
  echo "Content-Type: text/html; charset='utf-8'"
  echo
  cat contents.html
) | sendmail -t

    Create a file named contents.html in the same directory as the email.sh script that resembles:

    <html><head><title>Subject Line</title></head>
<body>
  <p style='color:red'>HTML Content</p>
</body>
</html>

    Run email.sh. When the email arrives, the HTML Content text will appear red.

    This worked for me:

    echo "<b>HTML Message goes here</b>" | mail -s "$(echo -e "This is the subject\nContent-Type: text/html")" foo@example.com

    I was struggling with similar problem (with mail) in one of my git's post_receive hooks and finally I found out, that sendmail actually works better for that kind of things, especially if you know a bit of how e-mails are constructed (and it seems like you know). I know this answer comes very late, but maybe it will be of some use to others too. I made use of heredoc operator and use of the feature, that it expands variables, so it can also run inlined scripts. Just check this out (bash script):

    #!/bin/bash
recipients=(
    'john@example.com'
    'marry@not-so-an.example.com'
#   'naah@not.this.one'
);
sender='highly-automated-reporter@example.com';
subject='Oh, who really cares, seriously...';
sendmail -t <<-MAIL
    From: ${sender}
    `for r in "${recipients[@]}"; do echo "To: ${r}"; done;`
    Subject: ${subject}
    Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

    <html><head><meta charset="UTF-8"/></head>
    <body><p>Ladies and gents, here comes the report!</p>
    <pre>`mysql -u ***** -p***** -H -e "SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 20"`</pre>
    </body></html>
MAIL

    Note of backticks in the MAIL part to generate some output and remember, that <<- operator strips only tabs (not spaces) from the beginning of lines, so in that case copy-paste will not work (you need to replace indentation with proper tabs). Or use << operator and make no indentation at all. Hope this will help someone. Of course you can use backticks outside o MAIL part and save the output into some variable, that you can later use in the MAIL part — matter of taste and readability. And I know, #!/bin/bash does not always work on every system.

    you should use "append" mode redirection >> instead of >

    My version of mail does not have --append and it too smart for the echo -e \n-trick (it simply replaces \n with space). It does, however, have -a:

    mail -a "Content-type: text/html" -s "Built notification" address@example.com < /var/www/report.html

    I found a really easy solution: add to the mail command the modifier -aContent-Type:text/html.

    In your case would be:

    mail -aContent-Type:text/html -s "Built notification" address@example.com < /var/www/report.csv
