Hi all ,

Can some one help me with the command to sent attachment using mailx .
I assume you mean binary attachments

man uuencode


Is it possible and if it is , is there any limitation of the size ?
After uuencoding you can splitt the file into a size which is supported
by all processes and resources meaning from a technical/theoretical
point of view the file size is almost unlimited.

But who likes to get a 4,5 GB email where its mail directory is on a
2GB limited FS
