mail attachments in AIX

[michaelvv]

Is there a program that will allow me to attach a 'binary' file to mail message, which can be detached by the recepient?

I use uuencode to attach a file to mail

I did see a post somewhere in this forum... I don't remember who wrote it, but I think it's called snd_mail. You should be able to find it... it works great... if you are only attaching one file... why don't you see if you can modify it to make it send 2 files... Then post back here so I can see what I need to change...

The program that I like is Matt. uuencode isn't sufficient if you are sending to an internet mail account.

Thanks everyone, uuencode works fine, I am able to detach the attachments in Lotus Notes.
