Mailx with file as an Attachment 2

[simpson]

All,

I would like to email a txt file from the command line as an attachement rather than the txt file being the body of the message.
example. mailx -s "Test Email" anyone@something.com < /tmp/text_file.txt
this just puts the context of /tmp/text_file.txt in the body. I want it to be delivered as an attachment.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Simp
