the way use echo print message headers eats double quotes - need escape them backslash (\") make work.
also, boundary wrong. if define boundary=--xyz, each message part needs start ----xyz (you need add 2 dashes), otherwise boundary should xyz. , headers of mime parts must separated bodies empty line.
if need generate mail shell script, advise rid of echo , use heredoc instead:
sendmail -t <<eot to: xxx@yyy.com from: <test_image@yyy.com> subject: embed image test mime-version: 1.0 content-type: multipart/related;boundary="xyz" --xyz content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-15 content-transfer-encoding: 7bit <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-15"> </head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> <img src="cid:part1.06090408.01060107" alt=""> </body> </html> --xyz content-type: image/jpeg;name="sathy.jpg" content-transfer-encoding: base64 content-id: <part1.06090408.01060107> content-disposition: inline; filename="sathy.jpg" $(base64 sathy.jpg) --xyz-- eot
