Sending Multiple Attachments using MAILX
I have created a shell scripts and wanted to email users multiple attachments using mailx. I noticed that when I do a man on mailx I see and -a option for attachments. When I run a:

Code:
mailx -s "test attachments" -a include_file -a exclude_file testuser@mydomain.com
(Interrupt -- one more to kill letter)
EOT

I had to do a control D to send it. What is the trick to getting it to work?
