Hi Forgive me if I should address this elsewhere, but the quality of this list is so high, its just too difficult to resist - ok, I'll stop. I want to send the output of a unix process (i.e. a text stream) by mail as an attached text file _non_ interactively. I loathe making tmp files and then deleting them and would like to keep this all in memory using variables. Is there perhaps a way to spoof a text file and get mutt to attach with `-a' the stream and call the stream filename.txt - or should I just stop dreaming? Also I often have difficulty going: echo this and that other|mutt -s "A Subject" -a attachment.tar.gz joe Mutt comes upo interactively - if I try from another Account it works fine - what should I toggle in my muttrc?
