Sending html email in CGI

Unfortunately I tried doing a search on this but the search routine for vbforum is down right now. So sorry if this is a repeat question.

I have some basic cgi scripts for sending email but they do it in basic text. How do I send html email? Is there something simple I do to convert it to html? Can someone show me what to change/add to my script?

Thanks for your help!

You need to send a MIME header if you don't do that already and set the Content-type to text/html.
Then simply put html tags in the content.

The tricky part is embedding images in the mail and referring to them, I don't know how that works.
