RE: Send Mail in Unix

I use mutt which has the option to attach a file.

mutt -s 'subject' -a filename user_at_mailserver < /dev/null

would send an attachment with no body, put a file instead of /dev/null if you want a body for the message.

With mailx in unix, I've been told it can be done by piping through uuencode or something, but I haven't done that.

I'm also sure it can be done with perl, some of the perl guru's on the list might be able to provide details.
