Re: sending mail from application on SuSe

We use shell scripts to automate sending of emails:
==============================================================
     {
     echo "To:[email protected]"
     echo "Subject:Weekly Chart"
     echo "From:"The Computer System" <[email protected]>"
     echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
     echo "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
         boundary=\"sendfile-attachment-boundary\""
     echo "This is a multi-part message in MIME format."
     echo
     echo "--sendfile-attachment-boundary"
     echo "Content-Type: text/plain;"
     echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit"
     echo
     echo "The attached file is a PNG image file. "
     echo
     echo "--sendfile-attachment-boundary"
     echo "Content-Type: image/png; name=mtr_net_del_d.png"
     echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"
     echo "Content-Description: mtr_net_del_d.png"
     echo "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=mtr_net_del_d.png"
     echo
     /usr/pd/mimencode /local/Web/metrics/mtr_net_del_d.png
     echo
     echo "--sendfile-attachment-boundary"
     }|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t
============================================================
Note that mimencode is part of the metamail distribution.
