Example (from script) follows:

###########################
mailx -m -s "Your subject" -r fromaddress@yourdomain.co.uk address.one@otherdomain.org
.uk, address.two@yetanotherdomain.co
.uk, <<-EOF >$LOG 2>&1
To Whom it may concern

Please find attached Files for today

Please note this email was system generated

`ux2dos log.txt | uuencode log.txt`
`ux2dos log_errors.txt | uuencode log_errors.txt`

EOF
###########################
You must uuencode all attachments.
ux2dos ensures that text attachments will be readable on a PC.
The -r flag to mailx specifies the reply-to address

for i in `echo filename1 filename2 filename3 ...` do uuencode $i $i.txt
done|mailx -m -s "test" username@whereever.com

Oh mailing attachment files is one of my favorite things...

Personally I like to use the include statement file with elm. I've used it to script sending multiple files that change everyday, and it worked nicely.

Here's one thread on it.
