Try with uuencode

for Exapmple:
If you want to attach myfile from tmp then

uuencode /tmp/myfile filename | mailx -s subject email -id

or uuencode /tmp/myfile filename | sendmail email -id.

you need to type a file name after the attachement

Goodluck

The method given can be used to send any kind of attachments.

in your case..

uuencode yourfile.pdf pdffilename | sendmail your-email.id

-USA..

Do you get any errors..??

Hi,

If you send mails to exchange, make sure you are using "-m" option with mailx, otherwise, it won't show up as attachment

thanks,
Gary

[Gary Yu]

so the full command should be

uuencode pdffile.pdf attachpdf | mailx -m -s "subject" user@company.com

In this thread is my mailfile script.

Its production and it works great, its also easily modified for other purposes.

Not so well documented, I'll admit, but its based on an HP script.

Just look for my name in the thread and click the attachment icon.
