Nice tip, thanks for that.

  From a modern mail reader point of view there is not much difference
 between a MIME or a uuencoded attachment.

But there is between an uuencoded /body/ and an attachment.

At the risk of this degrading into a mail useragent battle: kmail didn't give 
an option to uudecode the body.

cron to attach a gz file

2008-01-31 Thread Zbigniew Szalbot
Hello,

I know I can use

mail -s logfile   /var/log/httpd_access.log

in cron to email the content of a log file to a particular email
address but how do I make that log file a binary attachment (*.gz)?

Also, is it possible to actually transfer the log file by ftp using cron?
If so, would anyone be willing to share how to set it up?

Many thanks in advance!
