Folks,

        Well, I  was right on one thing.  In order to mail a file
        that both mutt/elm/mail and a GUI/HTML reader can grok,
        you *do* see to ^Content-type: headers.  The first for the
        plaintext reader, the second for the HTML reader.

        Among the mail header must be a long string such as:

Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=-A1X2"

        and following the line count (^Lines:  35) is this test

--=-A1X2
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
 
                                  test
 

        evolution is smart enough to center where I indicated the
        center icon.  Immediately below this is the boundary "END"
        string.  Followed by the std HTML that I've been hand coding
        since '93.  Followed by the boundary EOF (of sorts).

--=-A1X2
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 TRANSITIONAL//EN">
<HTML>
<TITLE> test </TITLE>
<HEAD>
  <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=UTF-8">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P ALIGN=center><FONT SIZE="4"><B>test</B></FONT><BR>
</BODY>
</HTML>
 
--=-A1X2--

        If there is an easier way to do this with my N hundred blurbs,
        could somebody clue me in?   This will only take a script of
        some kind and is probably too specialized to turn into a 
        port, but I'll share this with anybody who wants it.  

        gary
