script send email attachment

[kholikt]

I am writing a script to send me a report file as attachment. This file is in pdf format. What should be content-type and enconding I should specify.

function func_send_email
{
(
echo "Content-Type: multipart/mixed"
echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit"
echo "From:$SEND_FROM"
echo "To:$1"
echo "Subject: $REPORT_TITLE"
cat < $2
) | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t
}

One of the easiest and most powerful ways to do this via elm from the command line using the [include] syntax. Multiple attachments with mail text in between is very 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.


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

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

Try uuencode.

Try use:
Content-Type: application/pdf

Hi,

I am using the email client mutt for this

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Networking/Mail/mutt-1.5.9/

This is a script to send mail with mutt

DESTIN=your.email@company.com
SUBJECT="mail from unix server"
ATTACH1="/etc/passwd"
ATTACH2="/etc/hosts"
TEXTFILE=/etc/inittab

/usr/local/bin/mutt -a "$ATTACH1" -a "$ATTACH2" -i "$TEXFILE" -s
"$SUBJECT" $DESTIN << EOF >/dev/null 2>&1
EOF

You don't need to work with uuencode and uudecode

I've attached a script I found on this forum I've called mail_files. Instructions on how to use the script are included at the top of the file.

Use as Content-type: application/pdf
