How to get HTML file as a content to mail (shell script)
I am new to shell script, I have an HTML file which contains table data. Now I need to send this file to mail.
mail -s "test" abc.com <test.html
Currently I am getting the raw HTML code for the table in mail.
I need the table content in mail as we get in Internet Explorer.
linux bash shell script

Try adding -a "Content-type: text/html;" to the message like this:
mail -a "Content-type: text/html;" -s "test" abc.com <test.html
You can easily test this by running this command that echo’s simple HTML to the mail command:
echo "<html><b>Test</b></html>" | mail -a "Content-type: text/html;" -s "test" abc.com
Got this idea from this question and answer thread on Unix & Linux Stack Exchange as well as this similar thread on Stack Overflow.

If you need the html sent as attachment, then you can use the shell tool called mpack.
http://linux.die.net/man/1/mpack
EDIT FOR SAMPLE:
I as a simple user send a dummy mail to root with /etc/hosts attached:
$ mpack -s 'trx of /etc/hosts' /etc/hosts root@localhost
and as root, I'm checking my box:
# mail
Mail version 8.1.2 01/15/2001. Type ? for help.
"/var/mail/root": 1 message 1 new

Can you include a little more information as links are not typically acceptable as answers? Even just outlining what it is, what its prereqs are, etc. go a long way.
