Full Discussion: Using mutt from command line or script
Operating Systems AIX Using mutt from command line or script Post 302602517 by gary_w on Monday 27th of February 2012 02:43:02 PM

Try this (works using Korn shell on Solaris, your options my vary):
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

# Convert line feeds from the source and write to attach.out.
unix2dos -437 -ascii data.txt attach.out

# Now uuencode attach.out and call it data.txt for the attachment name.
(print "Please review the attached file";uuencode attach.out data.txt) | mailx -s "Test" myemail@mydomain.com

exit 0

Note that the "attach.out" filename can be omitted from the unix2dos command, where then the original file will be overwritten with the converted version. This example preserves the original data.txt file.
