mailx attachments

Is it possible to attach more than one ascii file to a mailx message? That is, does mailx support multiple file attachments?

Thanks

Roger,

Sure ...

Suppose if there are mutiple files in your directory called "test1, test2, test3....." you could try something like this

for File in `ls -1|grep test`; do
uuencode ${File} ${File.txt} | mailx -m -s 'test' mail@addr.com
done

you could also try sendmail in place of mailx and also elm..

There are many threads out there in the forum... try a search with "mailx" "attachment".. and you will see what I am mean..

Thanks,
Shabu

Hi Roger,

Here's what I'd use, e.g.:

(echo here they are
uuencode /tmp/h1 /tmp/h1.txt
uuencode /tmp/g1 /tmp/g1.txt) |
mailx -m -s "multi files" robin.wakefield@ubsw.com

Rgds, Robin.
