+++ Carla Neves [freebsd] [16-07-04 21:36 +0100]:
| Hi Dear all,
| I'm doing some scripts to automaticly deliver to some email accounts 
| Unix system printouts. I'm using sendmail on Freebsd 4.9 and the mail 
| tool to send my emails. What I would like to know is: is it possible 
| to send emails with files attached using the sendmail and the mail 
| tool? Which syntax should I aply to send an attached file in the 
| message?
| 
| I would appreciate your help.
| 
| P.S: I' using this syntax so far for sending emails
| 
| mail -s "Automatic Message" recipient@example.com <<E_O_M
| The contents of the message goes here.
| 
| E_O_M
| 
| or to pipe stuff directly into sendmail:
| 
| /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -oi -oem <<E_O_M
| To: recipient@example.com
| Subject: Automatic Message
| 
| The contents of the message goes here.
| 
| As much as you like, really.
| 
| E_O_M
| 
| 
| Regards,
| Carla

I don't think you can do it. I would have used mutt in such case.

e.g.
echo "contents of the bodt" | mutt -a attach_file -s "subject" recipent@example.com

Hope this helps.
