Very Computer

Hello,

yes... I know!

But how can I use sendmail to send this file like an "attachment" ?

Please don't laugh! Yes I looked at man pages... but did not find the
right topic.

Use /usr/ports/converters/mpack/
Then mpack is able to send messages with attachments, and
munpack to unpack the attachments on a message.

use uuencode to encode the file then pipe the output into mail...

uuencoded attachements work with most mail clients (except Eudora Light)

    Before win95 and the WWW, files sent in email were
    'uuencoded' (Yes it has a man page). Later people
    wanted to send more so MIME (MultiMedia Internet Mail Extensions)
    types were invented.  When the WWW came along it adopted
    MIME types. As more type of computers came on the
    internet, more MIME types were added.

    If you look in the mail header fo something like
    eudora you'll see:

X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.4 (32)
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="=====================_899944298==_"
Subject: test of attachment #3
X-Attachments: F:\WINWORD\RESUME\Resume4.doc;

    The labels to each line indicate a MIME type.
    So, 'Mime-Version: 1.0' tells you that the
    email message is using version 1.0 of the
    MIME standard to product the email field
    labels.

    Do you need more information?
