Try it via mail (do not forget to add your variables):
mail -a "Content-type: text/html" -s "HTML message" test@gmail.com << EOF
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td> Before </td>
<td> After </td>
<td> Differece </td>
</tr><tr>
<td> $_before </td>
<td> $_after </td>
<td> $difference </td>
</tr>
</table>
Before: $_before
After: $_after
Difference: $difference
</body>
</html>
EOF
If you need send from CentOS/RedHat via mailx use it:
mail -s "$(echo -e "HTML message\nContent-Type: text/html")" test@gmail.com << EOF
Try it for outlook:
mail -s "$(echo -e "HTML message\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\nUser-Agent: Heirloom mailx 12.4 7/29/08\nMIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit")" test@outlook.com << EOF
