ok, then forget it. In the reference I used mime_content type was not  
marked as depricated. I also rechecked where I used htmlmail's  
method, you're right I used it with an URL but remembered to have it  
used with a path...

Anyway we should think about consolidating these methods in 4.2 maybe.
