$ (cat mymessage.txt; uuencode office.jpeg office.jpeg) | mail -s “Subject” user@my.yahoo.com

Can you please let me know if the file would be attached to the email even if its size is 0, when the above command is used?

I cannot seem to send multiple files using AIX. The body and the first file appear properly, however the subsequent attachments show up as random text. Is it possible that my OS or Lotus notes can’t seem to process multiple requests? I have tried both the && suggestion and the /tmp/out.mail.

Any thoughts?

Thank you so much!! I replaced mail with mailx, then it worked in our Solaris box. This is so useful!! Thank you for posting!

If you are getting junk characters in your e-mail rather than an attachment, check to see if the text file you cat has a carriage return/new line at the end. If not uuencode does not seem to handle it properly.

(uuencode r1.tar.gz r1.tar.gz && uuencode r2.tar.gz r2.tar.gz && uuencode r3.tar.gz r3.tar.gz) | mail -s “Subject” user@my.somewhere.com

Task: Send multiple attachments in a single email
Or try this;
$ (cat email-body.txt; uuencode r1.tar.gz r1.tar.gz && uuencode r2.tar.gz r2.tar.gz && uuencode r3.tar.gz r3.tar.gz) | mail -s "Subject" user@my.somewhere.com

Enjoy

The faq has been updated to include your cat command.

Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. I needed to send multiple attachments and was able to make a quick adjustment to do so:

$ uuencode r1.tar.gz r1.tar.gz > /tmp/out.mail
$ uuencode r2.tar.gz r3.tar.gz >> /tmp/out.mail
$ uuencode r3.tar.gz r3.tar.gz >> /tmp/out.mail
$ cat email.txt >> /tmp/out.mail
$ mail -s “Reports” user@my.somewhere.com < /tmp/out.mail

Hi, the information was quite helpful. I was unable to send an attachement along with mail body. The above combination of cat and mail command helped me.

Thanks,
