Since it is a web page, it is already in html format. When I used mutt
from the command line, I couldn't change the content-type. You can
change the content-type when you manually run mutt. I sent a question
to the mutt-users mailing list and was lead to mpack. It does what I
want. My script file now fetches a file with wget, using date within
backtacks (`); sends it to my friend with mpack; and erases file. It is
now in my crontab.
Thanks for everyone's help. I wouldn't know where to begin getting this
accomplished with Windows. Linux does it in three lines and is able to
do it every day with the help of cron.
