Topic: [FIXED] How to attach file(s) to mails in console ?

[cool34000]

Hi !

I'm looking for a simple way to send a mail with an attached file via the console...

I have to send a mail with text and files attached to it... So here were I'm stuck :

Code: [Select]

cat myfile.txt | mail admin -s "your subject"This is working but can't find a switch to attach my files !!!

I typed 'man mail' but it seems that this function is unavailable

Is there another command-line tool to send mail as easy as 'mail' ?


Thanks in advance !

mail doesn't allow you to create MIME attachments.

mutt should let you do what you want and seems to be installed on my SME 7 servers.  For information, see http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-6.html#ss6.1
