31 Aug 2010 send mail from command line with attached file
I had to send a mail using only command line.
I was surprised it isn’t straightforward at all.
I didn’t had pine nor mutt or anything like that.
Just mail and mailx.
What Internet say (via google) is
uuencode fic.jpg fic.jpg | mail -s 'Subject'
I tried it.
And it works almost each times.
