Yes, you can:- Code:
find . -name "*.txt" -print | zip att -@ Code:
uuencode att.zip att.zip | mailx -s "Att" user@domain.com |

No, they are not different files. Below is the syntax of uuencode Code:
uuencode <source file> <output file> source file is the file to be encoded & output file is the encoded file. They can be the same name. |

In other words, 'output file' is the filename that the email gets told to use, which needn't have anything to do with the input name.
