[gentoo-user] mail command and attachment?

[Leonard - Gentoo]

Hello list..

Is it possible to send an attachment using the 'mail' command say in a 
cronjob? i have a file that i would like sent to me before deleted and 
recreated to examine it.. but 'man mail' doesnt exactly suggest that an 
attachment is possible

Thanks in advance..

Regards ..

Leonard

I don't believe mail will do this, unless you encode the attachment and
incorporate it into the mail yourself. mail-client/nail seems to do what
you want, describing itself as 'an enhanced mailx-compatible mail client'.

Or use just this:

emerge mutt

Than in a script you might use something like this:

echo "Content" | mutt -s "Subject" -a file someone@somewhere.com

I don't know about qmail, but most of the time you can say
"user@localhost" or just "user" in most cases.

Maybe
   cat message | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject -a username
would do it?
Attachments should be already included/encoded in message, I suppose.
(Is anybody still using uuencode these days?)

uuencode file.ext file.ext | mail -s "This is a test" me@mydomain.com

Thank you everyone!
