Mailing thru UNIX shell script
Hi,
I need to send an email from an UNIX shell script along with an attachment.
I am working on an HP-UX 11.00 system. The only mailing program which provides adding an attachment to a mail is "pine". However pine is not installed on my system and I cannot install it too due to the server being a production server. The only solution I have is to make do with any pre-installed mail programs.
The only mail programs I saw on HP-UX is mail, mailx, elm, sendmail . I would really like to know of any program which will allow me to send attachments along with the mail thru the shell script.
Also the attachment format will always be binary.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

LEARN ABOUT NETBSD
forward
FORWARD(5) BSD File Formats Manual FORWARD(5)
NAME
forward -- mail forwarding instructions
DESCRIPTION
The .forward file contains a list of mail addresses or programs that the user's mail should be redirected to. If the file is not present,
then no mail forwarding will be done. Mail may also be forwarded as the standard input to a program by prefixing the line with the normal
shell pipe symbol (|). If arguments are to be passed to the command, then the entire line should be enclosed in quotes. For security rea-
sons, the .forward file must be owned by the user the mail is being sent to, or by root, and the user's shell must be listed in /etc/shells.
For example, if a .forward file contained the following lines:
nobody@NetBSD.org
"|/usr/bin/vacation nobody"
Mail would be forwarded to <nobody@NetBSD.org> and to the program /usr/bin/vacation with the single argument nobody.
If a local user address is prefixed with a backslash character, mail is delivered directly to the user's mail spool file, bypassing further
redirection.
For example, if user chris had a .forward file containing the following lines:
chris@otherhost
chris
One copy of mail would be forwarded to chris@otherhost and another copy would be retained as mail for local user chris.
FILES
$HOME/.forward The user's forwarding instructions.
