Hi,

I want to know how to send a mail in unix using mailx or mail or sendmail to send a mail with a file attached. I have read the answers from the other threads but I still don't understand. I want to do it in the command line as well as in script.

Can anyone help? DO I need to use uuencode? And can I attach a htm or html file with the mail?


Firebird
