Hello!
We have an emaillist of about 8000 people and twice a month we send out an email to all of them.

All of our emails are 'html' and we like our users to receive them as a webpage in their inbox since most of them are using Microsoft Outlook.

What I usually do is take the list of emails, copy it into my buffer and then paste it into a MS outlook new email and then press send. I do this about 20 times and i'm sick and tired of doing it.

I want to use sendmail, but when I do the email comes into the users inbox as html instead of a webpage.

What do i need to put into the html (or in send mail) so that the email is a webpage and not html?

This way i can just write a script to systematically go through each email and send our group an email -- no more cutting and pasting!!!
