RE: sending mail from application on SuSe

Never tried on Linux, but on AIX we use a combo of mail and uuencode.
 
I want to send "picture.bmp" as an attachment, and "message.txt"
contains my mail message:
(cat message.txt; uuencode picture.bmp picture.bmp) | mail -s "A
Message" [email protected]

Thanks for the tip! But....is there a way not to jump into an editor

The command I execute is  mutt -s "my fyle" -a /etc/inittab
[email protected] 

Pressing return the system propose me the parameters and doing only
enter an
editor is opened in which we can make some notes.

But we don't want interaction when we send a mail.

Any solution?

Hi,

mutt!

usage is simple:

e.g. RUN "mutt -s"Subject" -aAttachment.doc user@domain < textfile"

because mutt reads the mailbody from STDIN, you can pipe a report to
mutt:

...
START REPORT myreport TO PIPE "mutt -s'Your Report' user@domain"
...

hth,
