sendmail help - attachments

[NoIce]

Hello I was wondering if someone can help me out, I am trying to send an email with a separate attached file…. I have researched loads of forums and from my research I have tested numerous ideas which none have worked…. Just to give you some background I am working on RHEL4.6 server with sendmail and mail installed…. There is no mutt or mailx installed on this server nor will my company allow me to install these utilities….

Normally from a shell script if I want to send an email message I would code the following:

/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -oi  <<EOF
From: $from_address
To: $to_address
Subject: Test Mail
$msg
EOF

Is it possible to expand upon my current code so as to attach a document to the email not insert the contents into the body of the email? Any and help will be appreciated. Thank you
