    Doing it that way will send the "attachment" as the body text of the
    email. You need a mail client that understands attachments - I recommend
    "mutt" (http://www.mutt.org/) which works rather simply. Try "mutt -s
    'Subject' -a <attachment> user@address.com <body". It even handles
    multiple attachments properly ("mutt -s 'Subject' -a <first attachment> -a
    <second attachment> user@address.com <body"). For a null body use
    </dev/null.
