@Chad,

It seems like you’re encountering an issue with the formatting of the email body when using HTML. To ensure proper rendering of HTML content in emails, you may need to use the mailx command instead of mail.

Here’s the corrected command:

echo "HTML Message goes here" | mailx -a 'Content-Type: text/html' -s "This is the subject" receiver@domain_name

Using mailx should resolve the issue with HTML formatting in your emails.

$ echo "HTML Message goes here" | mail -s "$(echo -e "This is the subject\nContent-Type: text/html")" receiver@domain_name

I sent to my work email and the text comes back with html codes. Does it matter if if we have mail -> mailx?
