 Metamail needs X11 which I don't want on the server, so I've gone with mutt.
This is because it depends on XPM library. I have removed it manually
and metamail works fine on my X11-less server :-)
I use both mutt and metamail because metamail can embed content, while
mutt does simple attachment.

Igor

Could you explain how you did this?  Do you have to install metamail, let it 
drag X11 in, then remove everything afterwards, or can you modify the build 
process?  I saw nothing promising in Makefile.

My error, it needs xloadimage and not xpm :-)
You can just temporary remove 

RUN_DEPENDS=xloadimage:${PORTSDIR}/x11/xloadimage \
mkfontdir:${X_CLIENTS_PORT}
from Makefile, and copy

/usr/X11R6/bin/bdftopcf
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.9

from your workstation. This is of course may cause some trouble :-) But
I had not any.

Send emails with attachments from command line

2005-12-08 Thread Ashley Moran
Does anyone know how to send emails with attachments from the command line?  
I've replaced sendmail with ssmtp and I can send plain messages with mail, 
but I don't know how to go about preparing MIME encoded emails.  Any 
pointers?

Cheers 
Ashley

I sometimes use:
#uuencode filetosend.ext filetosend.ext | mail -s File [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But not sure if thats correct.

I send all sorts of reports automagically with

cat filename | uuencode filename | mail -s filename [EMAIL PROTECTED]

where filename can be a shell variable etc
FWIW some of the reports are perl generated Excel spreadsheets and they
travel just fine to the M$ challenged.
