Hi Mark, The 'mail' command is just a dummy wrapper to /dev/null, not functional.
The command 'sendmail' is what you want to use. Starting in 0.7.4, we added a new command 'mime-pack' that creates a mime encoded email, ie. $ mime-pack Usage: mime-pack msg_body file_name1 mime_type1 [ file_name2 mime_type2 ... ] Example: mime-pack "Message body\nline2" "file.pdf" "application/pdf" The structure is: echo "header lines..." | mime-pack ... | sendmail -t So, to create a mime encoded email containing an attachment, start by specifying the Subject: and To: header lines, then pipe that to mime-pack to add the attachment, finally pipe that to sendmail -t . For example, interactively using the shell... -- $ echo "Subject: CDR_records > To: [email protected]" | \ > mime-pack "CDR's\nEnjoy..." "/mnt/kd/cdr-csv/Master.csv" "text/plain" | \ > sendmail -t -- Lonnie PS: we should add a tip in the docs for this.
