Is it possible to attach file to the email sent using mail command?

or is there any alternative command?

Thanks

U can use pine utility.

pine -attach <filename> <address>

You can use uuencode.

Code:

{ echo "The mail body"; uuencode aFileToAttach theAttachmentName; } | mail -s "theSubject" "someone@somewhere.com"

If your file to attach is a text file, you might want to 'flip -mb' it into DOS format first.
