How to send an attachment file and a message
through mailx?
(I am able to send either a message or an attachment {using uuencode} but not both together)

I suggest:

#mailx name@example.com

~r(filename)

Here is some text

Hi,

If the file you want to attach is in binary form, use the following:

uuencode your_file_name attachment_name | sendmail -v user@host

If it's plain text, you may use 'elm':

elm -s 'Subject Line' user@host < file.txt

Best regards,

Dan

Hi,

man mailx

-m Do not add MIME header lines Mime Version, Content Type & Content Encoding to the header information while sending mails.

example
# uuencode /tmp/testfile testfile.txt | mailx -m -s 'testje' test@mail.com

Thanks, but let me repeat my problem.
If I say
mailx -s "Test Subject" xxxxx.com < test1.txt
I am able to send the mail with the subject and test1.txt
appearing as the body of the mail.
Or If I say
uuencode test2.txt test2.txt | mailx -s "Test Subject" xxxxx.com
I am able to send the mail with the subject and the test2.txt appearing as an attachment with the mail.
My requirement is to send the mail with the subject and
test1.txt appearing as body of the mail and test2.txt as an attachment to the same mail.(Hope I am not asking for too much).
Also pl tell me how to send multiple attachments with the
same mail.

regards,
Bala

Friends,
My problem is solved.
(Assume that "test1.txt" has the contents for the body of the mail, "test2.txt" has the contents for the first attachment and "test3.txt" has the contents for the second attachment)

CODE:
uuencode test2.txt test2.txt >> test1.txt
uuencode test3.txt test3.txt >> test1.txt
mailx -s "Test Subject" xxxxx.com < test1.txt

This sends a mail with the subject and a body and 2 attachments.

"Test Subject" is sent as the SUBJECT of the mail.

test1.txt is sent as the BODY of the mail.

test2.txt is sent as ATTACHMENT 1 in the mail.

test3.txt is sent as ATTACHMENT 2 in the mail.

Thanks for the help extended by you all.

Happy new year to everybody.....!
regards,
Sreekanth

I create another intermediate file to do this.

aappend this line to the end of your first text file:

[include /tmp/test2.txt text/plain quoted-printable]

and then:

elm -s "Subject" me@home
this will include the file in the quotes, but use the text up until that point.
