X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2005 20:08:27 -0000 People, Can any one on-list clue me in on what kind of file(s) to create that will let me mail one file a day (or week) in both ASCII and HTML to people who subscribe to my list from my website. I can certainly cobble together the cgi/perl or php code that gets a person's email; I might as well use majordomo or mailman, for the list management. But what then? Specifically, I want to mail out a brief, neatly formatted file that might be (in html). E.g:
Existence precedes essense

-- J-P. Sartre

I would like to include a small graphic at the bottom of my html file. Maybe this is overkill. At any rate, the file would have to be readable by non-GUI mail programs as well. (Like mutt/elm/Mail). I created test files and read them with evolution and mutt. nO luck. The tests were fully html-complient, but showed up in raw/source mode... so it's time to ask the experts. [[ I did google around but didn't find anything that looked like what I want. So any help will be greatly appreciated! ]] thanks for help or pointers to help, &c., gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
