8/26 I need to attach a word doc to an email, but my ISPs smtp server
has been down for a couple of days. Anyone know how to attach a
word doc (mimencoded) via mh? Or alternatively, how can I convince
netscape to use soda as the outgoing SMTP server? Simply putting
in http://soda.berkeley.edu doesn't seem to work.
\_ use hotmail or some other web mailer...
\_ you can use soda as an smtp server using ssh port forwarding. you
could also transfer the file to soda via ftp or zmodem or whatever
and mail the file from there
\_ Getting the file to soda is easy, but I have no idea how to set
up the port forwarding to make this work. Any pointers?
\_ ssh -ljondoe -L 6666:csua:25 csua
then use port 6666 on your local computer as your smtp server
\_ if you can get the file to soda, can't you just e-mail it as an
attachment?
\_ How do you attach a file to a e-mail message using a cli
client? Sorry I'm /bin/mail and mh, and I've never had to
deal with this mime stuff till very recently.
\_ Use mpack & munpack, or, if you don't want to deal
with mime at all, uuencode and uudecode.
\_ you can use metasend. Or you can use pine (for just one message)
\_ This looks perfect. Thanks.
\_ Read the mhbuild man page to do it in mh,
or use mpack (quicker, easier)
\_ Why wouldn't you just use Yahoo mail, or Hotmail, from your local
machine? |
