Subject: Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII

I don't know if this is fairly simple or not, I read
about the filters, however it didn't really make very much
sense to me..

I need to send E-mail out,
and have the content type be text/html, HOWEVER, everything
I tried, unless I edit the spoof file, and use the bounce command,
it will always send text/plain.

I am inserting into the body (ctrl-R) a file.html, and sending it.
It is going out daily to a HTML version of a mailing list. Eudora Pro
reads it fine, but things like Netscape, and Outlook, and IE, can't
read it, because they see the content as being plain text.

I have also tried attaching the file, and having a .mime.types in my Home
dir, reading:

text/html	htm html

which also doesn't work.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

To reply to my own message.. I tried adding:

sending-filters=_CHARSET(US-ASCII)_,
        _MIMETYPE(text/html)_

however, as you can see in the headers of this messag, that did not work
either.

Here's the way to do it. You have to follow several steps in order to make
this work.

First you have to create a script, say we call it mime_types. Your file
mime_types should say something like this:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-Type:text/html > $2"

remember to give yourself execution permission for this file.

Then you should go to your configuration file, and where it says
sending-filters it should say:

sending-filters=/full/path/to/myme_types _TMPFILE_ _MIMETYPE_

This is enough to accomplish the task, but you should continue to the next
step anyway.

After you do this take a look at the following configuration option:

            [ ]  compose-send-offers-first-filter      

and read its help in order to understand what it does. I have it checked.
Somehow, I could not change Charset to iso-8859-1, which was something I
wanted, it always uses US-ASCII

Oops, now I realize that I misplaced the quotes, it should say

echo "Content-Type:text/html" > $2

instead. Sorry about that.
