Hi,

I am trying to send email with attachment using mailx command. I am using the folowing command:

Code: uuencode XX_HWSW_BUYERWISE_88963631_1.xls XX_HWSW_BUYERWISE_88963631_1.xls | mailx -s "Test Mail as Attachment" oracleams@xyz.com I get the email in the inbox.

I've used nmh in the past. I use mailx practically every day—although at a very basic level. mutt gets all the attention, but I'm wondering if is there enough mojo in mailx to handle day-to-day email chores.

Should invest the time to learn mutt or mailx?

Problem Statement:-

Currently I am sending an email using mailx by attaching an html file within the email. But I want to send an email using mailx command instead of attaching the html file in an email, I want to show the results of html file within an email body.

Im not talking about a text-based email client that allows you to read and send mails on the terminal like Mutt here. In this article, I will show you a simple way to send emails via the command line.

The tools you will need are "msmtp" and " heirloom-mailx". These two are in the repository of most distros so you can install them easily.
