Not very easily, is one answer. You can probably get away with uuencode output filtered to the standard input of mail(1), but that's not really a "MIME attachment".
On my system mail has no "-a" (attach) flag, and some Googling told me mailx might solve the problem, but /usr/bin/mailx just invokes mail....
Other mail user agents do have a -a flag though. At least mail/mutt does and I've used it successfully in the past. If you are not stuck with mail(1) only, you can always use mutt for this.
mutt -a /path/to/file [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm not stuck with mail, I use it with some shell scripts....but yeah, I guess I could use mutt....there's an idea I hadn't previously considered.
Thanks!!!
