Here is something you can try..
  • <LI class=MsoNormal style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1">Create one file called message.txt which has the body of the email message. <LI class=MsoNormal style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1">Create the attachment file. Lets call it attachment_file.txt
  • Now use the following commands:
/usr/bin/uuencode attachment_file.txt email_attachment.lst > attachment.txt

#concatenate message.txt and attachment.txt into combined.txt


cat message.txt attachment.txt > combined.txt

#email combined.txt file. this file has the body of the email and the attachment

mail -s "Message with Attachment" <YOUR EMAIL> < combined.txt
