There are at least two structural problems with your message.
1) There is no blank line that separates mail headers from body.
2) The Mime-Version: header is missing.
I think I've tried that as well. The Mime-Version gets appended
automatically. Even doing an uuencode and sending the resultant file
doesn't have it as an attachment.
In any case, it's solved using
mail -a "Content-Type: text/html"
