Send an email with attachments from the command line

you can do something like this:

$ uuencode my_attachment a_new_file_name | mail -s "this is the subject" me@mymail.com

This will send me@mymail.com an email with an attachment called a_new_file_name

Hope this helps

You can use the mutt email client.

mutt email@ddress -a filename.to.attache -s "Subject of email" < file.containing.message.body

or

Another program that produces output that you want as the message body | mutt email@ddress -a filename.to.attache -s "Subject of email"

mail whoever@wherever.com -s "hello there" < attachment

Isn't 'mail whoever@wherever.com -s "hello there" < attachment' only suitable for plain text attachments?

I'm still here. Happy thanksgiving!

I will give you the points, even though I didn't use your example. My solution was along the same lines and that was to write my own program to do the task.
