Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users email attachment, with a message using mailx Post 7579 by eddie on Friday 28th of September 2001 12:23:21 AM

I think following command should work,

( cat mesgfile ; uuencode Test.dat Test.dat ) | mailx -s 'Testing' mymail@yahoo.com

because I like to send mail in my RH Linux 6.0 like this,

(echo From: Eddie [eddie@swh.com]; echo Subject: Testing ; echo To: My friends; cat messagefile ; uuencode -m attach.file1 attachname1 ; uuencode -m attach.file2 attachname2 ) | sendmail `cat recipients-list`

The "recipients-list" contains the email addresses like following, for example,

john@yahoo.com
david@hotmail.com
mark@aol.com
sandy@mail.emerld.com
......

This is handy. You can also put this simple command into a shell script if you like. Note the brackets [ ], they should be angle brackets which are treated like special characters and can not be displayed in this BBS.

Hope this helps.
