You can't, you can use a mail program like mutt or pine which will allow you to attach files. d3funct

The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux.

you can use this:
uuencode filename filename | mailx -m -s &quot;Subject is ...&quot; my.name@my.company.com

This will send your filename as attachment. Don't forget -m and filename twice, if you need to change the from field , likely to have ability to write some body text, you can write a &quot;script&quot; to format attachments to be MIME compliant and then use &quot;sendmail&quot; so you don't need to decode them, if you want you can check a shell script already done at:
