[rescue] Need Mail Program Suggestions

[Steve Sandau]

A while ago I hacked together a shell script that would do pretty much
that. We had reports that were generated by an Informix database, and
rather than set up remote printers through various firewalls, we decided
to have the report emailed.

The script takes arguments for the attachment name, the subject, the
recipient, and the path to the file to attach. It uuencodes the file (I
think you could use mpack instead of uuencode) and sends it.

If you'd like the script, I'll mail it to you.
