> How do I attach a file using mail? When most people say 'attachment' referring to mail these days, they mean using MIME to split a message into parts and encoding those parts which use 8-bit characters using the Base64 encoding. The mail(1) program doesn't do that sort of thing. (You can read such attachments with mail(1), using an extension package like metamail.) You can embed uuencoded files into messages: uuencode foo.wav foo.wav | mail whomever@wherever Most mail clients understand that, too, at least in a limited way.
