Cheers, I do have mutt installed, which is what I generally use when working remotely, will give nail a bash..

You can use 'nail' instead which does attachments. If you already have mutt installed you can use that as well to send mail with attachments in batch mode.

RFC822 doesn't have it on attachments and mime (yet). So your mail -s "My backup" [EMAIL PROTECTED] < backupfile necessarily ends that file up in the message body. And 'mail' is just a frontend to the Mail Transfer Agent; e.g. sendmail. In order to help you further, you better specify more details. Some ftp / nc / nfs might be useful here, depending on the circumstances. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
