Yes, you can send attachments using uuencode;

/usr/sbin/uuencode | mailx -s""

Some mail programs may not be able to handle it, in which case replace mailx with sendmail.

Maybe we should start a FAQ on this??? that would definitely help...

the reply could have been merely 'Read The FAQ' (RTF)!

Check uuencode path, usually it will be in /usr/sbin
$type uuencode

1. uuencode | mailx -s "Subject" email@address.com

2. uuencode | sendmail email@address.com

Thanks

download and install mpack:

Mpack and munpack are utilities for encoding and decoding (respectively) binary files in MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) format mail messages.

Great for attaching any kind of document...
