Are you using mail interactively, or to send mail from scripts? If
you're scripting mail (e.g.
program | mail -s "Output of program" user@xxxxxxxxxxx ), then mutt
offers a (mostly) compatible command line with extra options. In
particular, man mutt says:
OPTIONS
-a file
Attach a file to your message using MIME.
Mutt is a very powerful interactive e-mail client, too, and what I'm
using now. It is very configurable, but this means that you may need to
spend some time writing a .muttrc file to make it do what you want it to
do.
You may find cone (or the non-free pine) to be a much simpler and easier
program to use.
Mutt is in FC4 (and I imagine in RHEL), cone is in extras, and pine you
can get from http://www.washington.edu/pine/getpine/linux.html . I'd
be surprised if there were any real dependency problems for any of
these: they're straightforward UNIX text mode programs.
Hope this helps,
James.
