cron mail in HTML format. got lucky?

[jay041111]

All my cron jobs are configured to email output to myemail@mydomain.com

Text content comes through, just fine. I have several cron jobs that output HMTL, however cron's output email displays the html tags as-is as text, instead of html. example: <br>

Anyone got lucky being able to send cron output emails in html format (either by configuring fedora or through command line)? help appreciated.

I have tried the following command lines in fedora crontab manager with no luck

TRY 1
CONTENT_TYPE=text/html /usr/bin/php /full/path/myphp.php | mail -s 'email subject' myemail@mydomain.com

(cron executes, but sends email as a text email, not html email)

TRY 2
/usr/bin/php /full/path/myphp.php | mail -s 'email subject' myemail@mydomain.com

(cron executes, but sends email as a text email, not html email)

TRY 3
/usr/bin/php /full/path/myphp.php | mail -s 'email subject' -a 'Content-Type: text/html' myemail@mydomain.com

(cron executes, but does not send email)

TRY 4
/usr/bin/php /full/path/myphp.php | mail -s 'email subject' --append="Content-type: text/html" myemail@mydomain.com

(cron executes, but does not send email)

Have you tried to use the command in tandem with "uuencode"? I believe you have to encode the content using uuencode first, before piping it to mail(x).
