Hi:

A _very_ useful cheat-sheet is the attachment by Dave La Mar in his post here:

Hi Santhosh,

Send EMAIL attacments by mail.

*******************************************************************************
E-mail attachments:

Assume that "test.txt" has the contents for the body of the mail, "test1"
has the contents for the first attachment and "test2" has the contents
for the second attachment)

CODE:

ux2dos text1 > text1.txt
ux2dos text2 > text2.txt

uuencode test1.txt test1.txt >> test.txt
uuencode test2.txt test2.txt >> test.txt
mailx -m -s "Test Subject" tpardike@????.??? < test.txt

This sends a mail with the subject and a body and 2 attachments.

"Test Subject" is sent as the SUBJECT of the mail.
test.txt is sent as the BODY of the mail.
test1.txt is sent as ATTACHMENT 1 in the mail.
test2.txt is sent as ATTACHMENT 2 in the mail.
********************************************************************************

Thanks,
Aneesh
