Mail with several attachment

[tatry]

Hello,
I'm looking for a HP tool which allows me to send several attachment files in a mail.
I've tried mpack, but it seems that I can only send ONE attachement file at a time.

Regards

Hi Lional,

You can use ELM for that purpose.
It is standart installed on HP-UX.

hi,

from the commandline:

{
echo "body text"\n
uuencode file1 file1
echo \n
uuencode file2 file2
echo \n etc
}| elm -s "subject" account@domain.com

Hope this helps,

Gideon and Peter Geluk

Hello Gideon and Peter Geluk

With ELM and the commandline you give me, the attachment file is not in "attachment" (MIME format)... it is in the body of the mail... :-(

Elm will work just fine from the command line and it's quite easy.

Within the body of your email add this:

------------------------------------

This is my text. How are you?


[include /tmp/myattach application/octet-stream base64]

This is some more text in the middle.

[include /tmp/myexcel.xls application/ms-excel base64]

This is a closing message in the email.

----------------------------------------



That will attach /tmp/myattach and /tmp/myexcel.xls. You can include multiple attachments using this method. If you are running 10.20 make sure that you have a MIME enabled version of elm (PHNE_15835 or later).

Then to use it from a script:
elm -s "My Subject" user@mailserver.com < myletter

Where myletter contains the attachment include statement as well as your message text. It is also necessary that you have a .elm directory
under the users home directory because unlike the interactive version of elm the command-line version will not create a .elm directory automatically.

Lionel,

I tried this trick in the past, sending mail to a Lotus Notes mail-client. Then the attachment came in the body of the text.
I didn't bother at that time.

Today I tested it again and in Outlook it showed as an attachment(not in the body text).
I didn't check if it is, or not, in MIME format.
