I want to send an attachment in a mail, in a unix script mail -s "subject" user@outlook How can i attach a file in the e-mail. Any advice will be greatly apreciatted.

mail -s "subject" user@outlook < attachment-full-qualified-filename

Thanks for the reply It's not exatcty what I need, I don't want the file in the text of the e-mail (in the body), I want the file as a attached file in the e-mail. It's posible that I will need to atachh more tha one file. Thanks

Set your content type to multipart/mixed Define the boundary Encode the files Start the next boundary, define content-type, charset & encoding Attach encoded file Wash, rinse, repeat. E-mails are always plaintext - it's a pain but you can do the above, here's an example in php: http://www.webcheatsheet.com/php/se... Although you'll need a little more than that if you're transfering binaries.

man mail ... would be the first thing to try. The internet does not know what OS you are running, it will all kind of options you cannot use on your copy
