How to add HTML to a text email?

Asked by bganoush in SendMail Email Server, IBM AIX Unix

I have this requirement to implement HTML within an email but the mailer I'm using is really old and I have to do everything manually.

My current email template is a text file that looks like this:

======================================
TO: myemail@mydom.com
CC: theiremail@theirdom.com
FROM: someonesemail@somedom.com
SUBJECT: This is the subject

Hi dudes,
This is the text version of the email
Me
======================================

Now I would like to add more information including an imbedded image and a link. Maybe even an <HR> tag... like this:

======================================
TO: myemail@mydom.com
CC: theiremail@theirdom.com
FROM: someonesemail@somedom.com
SUBJECT: This is the subject

Hi dudes,
<HR>
This is the text version of the email
This is a link: <A href='http://yahoo.com'>GO TO YAHOO</A>
<HR>
Me
======================================

Can anyone tell me how I add multiple content ex: TEXT and HTML in one email using this mailer?  How do I add the appropriate MIME tags for this?
