Hi All,
I am using AIX5L. I am able to send the mail but i dont know how to
attach the file with any mail.

I have tried like this :
uuencode arbind.txt arbind.txt | mailx -s "Subject : Attachment"
getarbind@gmail.com

But this commands also doesnot attach the file. It sends the mail
without attachment.

Plz help me regarding this.

Thanks in Advance !!!

Bye

Hey,

We use almost the same:
uuencode <full path of the attachment> file.txt | mail - s
"SUBJECT" xyz@domain.com


As you can see, the difference are:
-full patha of the attachment and
-mail (not mailx).

Hope it works for you...

I now use Perl and Mail::Sendmail to do stuff like this - easier IMO than
driving it via shell...

cheers,

I use mutt -->
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeS...aix5.1.ppc.rpm

mutt -a filename.out -s Subject email@address.com

But that doesn't seem to cause the mail to appear as an attachment to
the recipient, it just sticks a uuencoded version of the file in the
body of the mail message. Doesn't it?

Kewl... I'm not the OP, but have looked into doing this in the past.
Most of my efforts have resulted in the file not being an attachment,
but being part of the message body.
However, mutt has a -x switch which causes it to behave like mailx, so
this works for me now:
echo "Message Body" | mutt -a /path/to/file -s "Subject" -x e-mail@domain

Thanks,
Tim
