First, getting yesterday's date in the bourne shell is very difficult. It's been described ad nauseum in computing.net so I used a perl script to get yesterday's date. If you don't like perl, let me know, and I'll send you the computing.net links so you can use a total shell solution.

Second, I'll leave the email part to you as I don't know if you have sendmail working or not:

#!/bin/sh

# Prints yesterdays date and time as it relates to (now - (24 hours)).
datestr=`perl -e '
my $xsecs = time();
my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(($xsecs - 86400));
print $mon + 1, " $mday ", 1900 + $year, "\n";
'`

set -- `echo $datestr`
month=$1
day=$2
year=$3

if [ $month -lt 10 ]
then
   monthstr="0"$month
else
   monthstr=$month
fi

dirname="/test/directory/save/$year$monthstr$day"
basename="filename."
filestr="$basename$year$monthstr$day*"

cd $dirname
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
   rm -f mailfile.txt
   for file in $filestr
   do
      echo "$file" >> mailfile.txt
   done
fi

After creating the mailfile.txt, try the mailx command:

mailx -s "sending mailfile.txt" nails@nails.com < mailfile.txt
