Not exactly sure of your question, but if looking for a way to do this, try this

uuencode file file|sendmail user@domain.com

There are several ways this can be done, this is just one way..the second instance of file can be in the form file.xls or whatever.

Hi
This is how I send attachments in emails from my hp boxes.

#uuencode file file1 |mailx -m -s "Heading for email"

Thanks.

Hi Ted:

If you choose to use the 'elm' approach make sure that you create a .elm directory in the sender's home hirectory. The interactive version of elm will create it automatically but the command line version will not.
