Read man mutt. echo My message | mutt -s ImportantLetter -a Attachment [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can cat a file to mutt as well.

I need to use a mutt command to be executed in a UNIX shell ... If you just want to send a text file to someone, you can simply use the standard UNIX mail command: mail -sMy .muttrc file [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/.muttrc would send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subject My .muttrc file and send your ~/.muttrc file. It doesn't work with binary files, though. You can probably use mutt to do that somehow but I don't know how.
