Sending attachment with email without using uuencode and mutt
Hi All,

do we have any option for sending attachment with email except using uuencode and mutt, because if i use these utilities then i will have to install them separately which is not feasible at time.

please suggest on this.

You certainly do not need mutt. You can uses mail or mailx or sendmail, which would normally be standard fare on a Unix/Linux system. Instead of uuencode you could also use base64 for attachments. Are you sure uuencode is not installed by default as well?

Thanks scrutinizer for your valuable comment.

But I have found one other option too i.e. mailx -a

Code:
echo "This is message body" | mailx -s "This is Subject" -a err_val.csv.20150806052330 "lovelysethii@gmail.com"

It's working perfectly for me.
