Summary :
mail -s subj [EMAIL PROTECTED] < file.txt
cat file.txt | mail -s subj [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mail -s subj [EMAIL PROTECTED] -q file.txt
All give the same result
However
mail -s subj [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<copy paste with the mouse from a xterm where you did "cat file.txt"
.
gives the desired result.
The problem seems to be that in the former case the file is Base64 encoded
and in the latter case just send in as "plain text". I would like to send
"plain text" in all cases.
I thought that |(piping) or < where only redirecting the stdin. So I do not
understand why mail discriminates between |,< on one hand and "real terminal"
input on the other hand.
