With mutt you can send attachments from the command line like this:
$ mutt -a /tmp/attach.pdf -s "testing attachments" recipient@xxxxxxxxxx
You can also use mpack - pack a file in MIME format
in either of the two forms below
mpack [-s subject] [-d descriptionfile] [-m maxsize] [-c content-type]
file address ...
The below will generate outputfile in proper MIME format.
mpack [-s subject] [-d descriptionfile] [-m maxsize] [-c content-type]
-o outputfile
mpack is exactly meant for sending emails with all kinds of attachments
and does nothing else and hence it is a tiny executable which can be
used in shell scripts.
mpack can be downloaded at
