Subject: Attaching a File from the Command Line

I posted here once before concerning this subject but received no replies.
I'm hoping it was just missed by someone who can help me, so I'm posting
again.

Can a file be attached (externally ... not within the text body) to a mail
message using Pine from the command line?  If not, can someone tell me
another mailer to use (or any other way) to attach a file externally please.

What I want to do is automate a back-up procedure where I will be emailing
back-up files off-site.  I can't send the file as part of the text body
because the receiver can't handle the file that way.

Thanks for any help.

	You will not be able to use pine in that manner.  Suggest you
pick up the "metamail" distribution.  It can be found at:

	ftp thumper.bellcore.com in pub/nsb.
