Thanks to everyone who replied for all the useful suggestions. I'm going
to read the links posted and possibly try the Perl suggestion first.

thanks again,

What about simply using uuencode?

( echo Text ; uuencode origname.gz attname.gz ) \
| mailx -s subject -r [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

uuencode is obsolete. MIME has been around since the mid-late 90's. New
applications should not use uuencode.

 Hello,
 I'm currently sending 2 daily emails to my group at work using crontab
 and the '/usr/lib/sendmail' command on a server running postfix 2.5.1. Is
 there any way to add an attachment, in this case a excel spreadsheet? I've
 had people tell me to use mutt but I'm having trouble changing the 'from'
 header in mutt. I would like to use the sendmail command (through postfix)
 if possible.

 thanks, Chas.

Thanks,

you were faster than me, I was already starting to devise some in shell 
script.


Aside of hacks, I *think* that it might make sense to have a non-hacked 
solution. As system administrators, we, at least I, send quite a number 
of items with mail (cronjobs).
Therefore, IMHVHO, a tool distributed with *nix or *fix (wrapping around 
mail) might be useful?

Description

Nail is an intelligent mail processing system, which has a command
syntax reminiscent of ed(1) with lines replaced by messages. It is based
on Berkeley Mail 8.1, is intended to provide the functionality of the
POSIX nail command, and offers extensions for MIME, IMAP, POP3, SMTP,
and S/MIME. Nail provides enhanced features for interactive use, such as
caching and disconnected operation for IMAP, message threading, scoring,
and filtering. It is also usable as a mail batch language, both for
sending and receiving mail.

The following options are accepted:

-A name
Executes an account command (see below) for name after the startup
files have been read.

-a file
Attach the given file to the message.
