The From address cannot be tinkered through mail. Need to do it
through sendmail -f ... why not use a MUA like mutt instead ?

AFAIK, it is not possible to send atts through mail. If you want
it sent from the command line, use some MUA to do the job. mutt
is quite capable of command line atts (see LOST #225 below). You
may also like to explore the send and sendfiles programmes in
the nmh package for such jobs.

If you have mutt installed, do:
mutt [EMAIL PROTECTED] -a /tmp/file.tar.gz \
-s "subject line" \
-x < message.txt
