I believe that you need to uuencode the file you want to send, the
uunecoded file can be send in this way: 
 
mail user@host < uuencoded.file
 
this of course is used when the file you want to send is a binary one, if
the file you want to send is a TEXT one you donīt need to uuencode it just
send it with:
 
mail user@host < text.file
 
hope this helps, other hint  "read the uuencode and uudecode manuals"
 
man uuencode
 
 
or 
 
man uudecode

bye!
