Bug how to send mail in UNIX using MIME
Hi,

I am searching for an option to send mail with multiple attachments using unix. I know uuencode option, but I dont have the executable in our machines. So I am looking for some other option to do this. And I heard that we can send mails using MIME. Can anyone help me with the syntax and procedure of MIME command to send mails?

Thanks,
Srilaxmi

There are plenty of posts here about sending mail.As a simple command here is one

Code:
mutt -a /filepath/filename -s "mail subject" email_ids@somedomain.com </path/filename_body

-a option specify filename attachment as MIME.
-s for subject line.
at last i have used indirection (<) filename_body,which contains text that will come in email body.
you can give multiple emails seperated by space.
