Use a for loop to read file names from directory, email them and move them to another directory once handled.

Here is something to start with:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

dir="/path_to_your_directory/"

for file in ${dir}/*
do
        mkdir -p "${dir}/HANDLED"
        [[ "$file" =~ HANDLED ]] && continue
        mailx -s "Subject" user@domain.com < "$file"
        mv "$file" "${dir}/HANDLED/"
done

mvdir

mvdir(1M)																 mvdir(1M)

NAME

       mvdir - move a directory

SYNOPSIS

       dir newdir

DESCRIPTION

       moves one directory tree into another existing directory (within the same file system), or renames a directory without moving it.

       dir must be an existing directory.

       If newdir does not exist but the directory that would contain it does, dir is moved and/or renamed to newdir.  Otherwise, newdir must be an
       existing directory not already containing an entry with the same name as the last pathname component of dir.  In this case,  dir  is  moved
       and becomes a subdirectory of newdir.  The last pathname component of dir is used as the name for the moved directory.

       refuses	to  move  dir  if  the	path specified by newdir would be a descendent directory of the path specified by dir.	Such cases are not
       allowed because cyclic sub-trees would be created as in the case, for example, of which is prohibited.

       does not allow directory to be moved.
