You need to send a multipart message, I think.
These tend to look something like this:

<header stuff - snipped>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
	boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0007_01C07A1E.80D627E0"
<header stuff - snipped>
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

------=_NextPart_000_0007_01C07A1E.80D627E0
Content-Type: text/plain;
	charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

In here would be the normat text email.

------=_NextPart_000_0007_01C07A1E.80D627E0
Content-Type: text/html;
	charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

<.!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<.html><.body>
<.h1>
And in here the HTML file would go, but obviously without the fullstops!
<./h1>
<./body><./html>

------=_NextPart_000_0007_01C07A1E.80D627E0--


I have no idea how the NextPart_number is generated, presumably some sort
of time stamp.
There is probably an RFC which specifies this bettter.

Hope this helps,
Nik
