sendmail will send anything that follows proper formatting rules
according to the various SMTP RFCs. If you want to send HTML mail,
you'll just need to format it correctly before feeding it to sendmail.

saying sendmail can't send HTML mail is kind of like saying sendmail
can't email someone a JPG. It can, you just need to make sure that it's
fed into sendmail properly.

Unfortunately, I can't give you any examples or references on where to
look for this, because I believe that HTML Email is Evil Incarnate,
Enemy Of All That Is Good and Right and have never had any desire to
know how to send HTML mail...
