nmh doesn't know anything about richtext, so either your script isn't
creating your mails correctly or your SMTP relay host is messing them up.
Can you send a mail containing examples of a (post-`mime'-command)
manually-created draft and one created by your script? Don't send them as
MIME attachments, so your relay host won't have a chance to mess them up.
