"mail" is actually a fantastic interface to an email box assuming you don't receive very much mail. I still use it for things like sending myself an email notification when a long-running job is finished.
Maybe this wasn't the case back then, but with the mailx the comes with modern Linux distros you can attach files using the -a flag
- RexRollman 13y agoThat sounds like a great idea. EDIT: NetBSD does support the -a flag (since version 1.23 of mail in 2006) but OpenBSD and FreeBSD doesn't. Good to know.
