[NTLUG:Discuss] mail or mailx question on attachments

[Fred James]

Command line, yes, but this has to run from within an Oracle Forms 
application - the C code produces the equivalent of the command line, 
except we have put the uuencode inside the message body with "~|uuencode 
filename filename"  Other than that choices were made on "is it 
installed, and is it commonly available (i.e., on most implementations). 
 But the question now is, what potential problems might we be facing?
