attachment using sendmail

attachment using sendmail

[Luca Ferrari]

Hi,
I use the sendmail command to send automatic e-mail in my control programs, 
but I'd like to know if there's a non interactive way to send an attachment, 
like a small text file. I didn't find a way in the man, so anyone has already 
done it?

Thanks,
Luca

Hi Luca,

There are many ways to attach files to email, MIME is probably your best bet.

A simple command line way would be to use the less supported uuencode, man
files for that.  Some mail clients may not support it though, I know there
is a plugin for Squirrel Mail though, and Eudora and Pine support it.

For MIME style attachments, I use a perl script with MIME::Lite.  Works
very well and very easy to code.  You can find it at
http://search.cpan.org (when it is working).

Good luck.

In these two newsgroups they give you other ideas:
