Subject:      Re: sasmailer script under 6.12

Hi,
 
        Look at the script "sasmailer" in the !SASROOT/utilities/bin
repertory. It is specified that it doesn't support the "attach".
On the other hand, if your mail program support mime and elm, you could
use "sasm.elm.mime" as your mail script instead.
 
        If, as me, your mail program doesn't support MIME you still have
some options:
 
        1- If your file is a text file, send it with your message (or
           another message) as standard text (you may print a separator
           that you will recognise);
 
        2- If your file is a binary file, first: uuencode it in a file
           and process file like a text file ... (first method).  To
           obtain back the file you will have to uudecode it.
 
        I hope this can help ???
 
                Regards,
                        Bernard Tremblay
