Hello,

I also often use mpack, but for a simple tar file you could use :

shar -cZ tar_file | mailx -s "subject" email

Jean-Louis.

Hi

This is a small script, which will do what you require.

#!/bin/sh
MAILFILE=/tmp/mailtemp
HEADER=/tmp/header
clear
echo "Enter the email address: \c"
read TO
echo "Enter the Cc email address: \c"
read CC
echo "Enter the Bcc email address: \c"
read BCC
echo "Enter the Subject: \c"
read SUBJECT
echo "Enter the Body: \c"
read BODY
echo "Enter the filename of the attachment: \c"
read DATAFILE
echo To: $TO >> $HEADER
echo Cc: $CC >> $HEADER
echo Bcc: $BCC >> $HEADER
echo Subject: $SUBJECT >> $HEADER
echo "" >> $HEADER
echo "" >> $HEADER
echo $BODY >> $HEADER
echo "" >> $HEADER
cat $HEADER > $MAILFILE
uuencode $DATAFILE $DATAFILE.doc >> $MAILFILE
cat $MAILFILE | /usr/lib/sendmail -t
rm $MAILFILE
rm $HEADER



I got this from the forum but cannot remember from whom, so apologies to initial author.

Hi Stephan,

I gleaned this from the forums a couple of weeks ago, particularly from posts of Rita C. Workman. It works well.

Create an "include" file containing this line:
[include dla.tar application/octet-stream base64]

Then do:
elm -s "tar file" someone@somewhere.com
