for MIME/binary attachment stuff, you really want the scripts/tools
that come from "metamail".

includes "mimencode", which is good for doing the gruntwork, "mailto"
which is an interactive composer along the lines of mail(1), and
"mimeit" which is a good wrapper for shell scripts to "just send this
binary file to this user with this mime type".

Re: [SLUG] command Line mailer that can send an attachment

[mlh]

mutt -s SUBJECT -a ATTACHMENT [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null


... the /dev/null redirection is useful from the command
line so that mutt doesn't ask you any more silly questions.

Multiple "-a attachment" are accepted.

Re: [SLUG] command Line mailer that can send an attachment

[Andrew McNaughton]

My version of mail doesn't do attachments, so I wrote a simple script to
do the job.  It's attached.  The interface is similar to that for mail.

Robert Collins had a nifty little program called mailfile that he used to
send the notes I took at the last SLUGlets to me, I guess it's just a simple
wrapper around mail(1).

Your right. My 'mail' on Linux does not mention attachments.
Pine can do it though using the -attache file command line option.
Something like this:

 \/ note semicolon
for o in `ls -1'; do
 pine -attach $o [EMAIL PROTECTED]
done

Thanks.
hmm, we must have different versions as there is no mention of
attachments in the version I have (sans rh5.0) as all I can do is send
it as the message.

I'm wanting to do something like

for o in `ls -1'
do
mailer -a $o  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
done

and prefeerably with an older mailer
