-HTML switch specifies that plain text message will be sent as html mail message. HTML stands for hyper text markup language and provides more formatting capabilities than plain text (such as hyperlinks, tables, colors, bold and italic text formatting). To take full advantage of html email, appropriate html formatting tags must be present in the plain text file.

Command syntax:
  • febootimail -HTML -TEXT "sending email as <B>HTML</B> message"
  • febootimail -HTML -MSG -USEFILE message.txt

Most likely -HTML switch is to be used together with -TEXT -USEFILE command. In this case plain text file is specified as message body text and converted into html format upon sending an HTML email with command line mail utility.

Minimize
C:\>febootimail -SERVER smtp.server.com -FROM john@sender.com -TO jack@recipients.com -TEXT -USEFILE plaintext.txt -HTML 

Most of the modern email servers and applications support html messages; however some older software may treat html emails incorrectly. It is recommended to use -HTMLFILE switch instead of -HTML.
