I need some help with unix email.
I would like a way to send files from unix system via sendmail or mailx with email attachments.
I have tried using uuencode and decode however the file is embedded in the body of the Netscape Mail and not as an attachment.
Would appreciate anyone giving some advice.
From a unix beginner.

I have a script that first makes a tarfile and then sends it as an attachment to my emailadress:
uuencode ${TARFILE} ${TARFILE}|mail -s"your subject" your@email
Of course you can do this with any type of file. I have tried it with gifs and that works as well.
Hope this helps.

Can you send me your script to make a tar file and then email. I have to send a text file as an attachment. I tried to use uuencode | with mail. The command executes successfully, but I do not receive an email.
your help is much appreciated.
