I do something more like this zcat file.gz > tmp.eml ; mutt -a tmp.eml user@xxxxxxxxxxx < /dev/null this gives me an attachment of tmp.txt. When I would like it to be tmp.eml. I will double check to make sure I didn't do that incorrectly but otherwise I am still looking for suggestion -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of yonas abraham Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 4:14 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Email from command line with attachment Steven J Lamb wrote: > How does one send an email from the command line with an attached file.
