RE: Sending file as an attachment using mailx

First, you'll need to uuencode the file. For example, a text file "test", type: uuencode text text.txt > text.txt Next, in mailx while composing a file, use the following: ~r text.txt or ~< text.txt will insert the uuencoded message in the file. I've used MS Outlook to read the mail and the file is shown as an attachment. If you're just adding a text file, you might need to use the unix2dos command (before uuencoding) to get the carriage returns (instead of getting one long line!).
