Hi All,

I came to know that i can use mutt command, to send mails with attachments, in shell i can send, and when i execute
Code:
`mutt -a <file_name> ak@apps.com < /dev/null`

in command line, i received mail with attachment, so i used this command in perl script using back quotes ` . i'm not able to execute properly. i'm getting an error as when i used mutt in perl script.

Code:
Error sending message, child exited 67 (User unknown.).

Can anyone let me know how to send attachment in perl without using any modules,

Thanks,
asak

NAME
simplify - a script to simplify a MIME message SYNOPSIS
simplify [args ...] < message > othermessage DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the simplify command. simplify is a Perl script to simplify a MIME message. This script never loads the entire message into memory, but does dump it's entire contents to disk once. OPTIONS
mime=no Don't use MIME, no HTML mail allowed. testing=yes Run in testing mode (suppress randonmess) saveall=yes Save all attachments to files. temp=/path/to/working/dir/ Defaults to /tmp. url=http://box/path/ URL-prefix for printing paths to attachments header=text... Text preceding the attachment URL list. textsig=/path/to/file Text signature to append to text parts. htmlsig=/path/to/file HTML signature to append to HTML parts. If "saveall" is yes, then the script will save all attachments to disk so people can access their contents later. If an URL is specified then that automatically implies "saveall=yes". Without this, the default behavior is to only save text and html parts, and delete them and all working directories when the script is finished. SEE ALSO
