Answer 1

According to this use you should use:

echo "MESSAGE BODY" | mailx -s "SUBJECT" -a "FILEPATH" -a "ANOTHERFILE" [email protected]

Answer 2

Take care if you are under HP-UX system you should use this :

( cat message_content_file; ux2dos attachment_file.txt | uuencode attachment_file.txt attachment_file.txt ) | mailx -m -s "subject" -r mail@sender mail@recipient

The attachment file can differ from .txt
