Way cool.

Make sure it's in the header, not the body.  Also you will need
`Mime-Version: 1.0', I think.  Hm.  And if it isn't ascii, you need a
charset declaration, too.  But maybe you can extract that from the
HTML generated by the Debian thingy.

To summarize:

Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit

Hm.  There are different formats.  But surely, maybe MIME would be
best.  I guess you can use mml-generate-mime for MML->MIME conversion.
