How can I send an attachment using the 'mail' command in SCO ??

eg. mail -s"User Reports" username < filename

I do not want the 'filename' to be in the body of the message but attached
to the message (could be a binary file)

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried with the munpack package ? Please try by
searching the 'Net since I'm pretty sure you'll find it;
alternatively, drop me an Email and I'll send it to you.

you could always try:

uuenocde <file> | mail -s"User Reports" usenrame

This works and is correct. Although <typo> should be uuencode
and this statement will hang and wait for message to be entered, and when
<CTRL D> is entered the message is sent.

uuencode <sourcefile> <remotefile>|mail [-s] <username>

works much better. This way it forces the file to have a name specially
when using Netscape Mail or Eudora to receive.

Oh yeah, it also works with MS mail thingies too. ;)

Is there a was to send both a binary attachment and inline text? Say I have
two files, one a binary fiule and one a textfile and I want to send them both
within the same email.

Sure, use Netscape Messenger. :o)

I have yet to be successful doing that from the command line, maybe with
a tee command, but I doubt it. If you uuencode a text file it comes out
as text in the Netscape receive end, but I don't know of a way to
uuencode 2 files into one e-mail. I would just make the subject line as
descriptive as possible.

Sorry, not much help there.

As I think I said earlier in this thread ( it might have been another
one ) get ( from skunkware ) and use mutt
mutt -a file1 -a file2 -s subject recipient <<!
Here are your two files
!

Try uuenview. It works very well for attachments.

Well, I've used the 'mpack' package (mpack and munpack)
succesfully under SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 (do a quick search
on the 'Net and you'll find it - alternatively, drop me
an Email and I'll send it to you).

Off-Topic: UnixWare 7.1 provides the mimencode(1) utility
which can encode/decode MIME messages (eg, to decode a MIME
attach save it on a separate file - without headings and
labels, only raw data - and type 'cat file | mimencode -u > file1').

My finding of the day :-)

Roberto
