Email binary attachement from LInux

Ragni Singh — Tue, 27 Jul 2004 08:01:25 GMT

Hi all, how do I e-mail binary attachements from Linux. I have used elm in Unix. What can I use in Linux. Any help is truly appreciated and points will be assigned.

unstall the rpm sharutils from the distribution CD (of course unless it's installed).
then run this command:
uuencode /tmp/bin.file /tmp/bin.file |mail anon@microsoft.com

where the file to send is /tmp/bin.file and the e-mail is anon@microsoft.com

Best regards

For send and recive mail in Linux shell, I use MUTT (http://www.mutt.org/).
This is command line client mail.

I'm attaching a script and noting that you can add attachment with elm interatively.

See attachment, it is not meant for interactive use. You'll need to check the shell and change the path to sendmail binary.
