Sending a file as an attachment with email from command prompt

[GN_1]

Could any one help me by providing a way to send a file as attachment ( not part of the body of letter) with an email?

I dont see any options with mail or mailx. Any command line utilities or free email client software can do that? I need to send a file after PGP encryption.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I will use like this ...

#uuencode myfile myfile|mailx -m -s "hi" test@yahoo.com

or simply

#mailx test@hotmail.com
Good day,

This allows you to attach many files as text files:

for i in `echo filename1 filename2 filename3 ...`
do
uuencode $i $i.txt
done|mailx -m -s "test" username@whereever.com


or for a single file

uuencode filename filename.txt | mailx -m -s "subjectgoeshere" username@whereever.com


live free or die
