problem faced during sending attach file using mail -a
i am using a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8) and i am facing problems while i try to send an attached file via email using "mail -a" option.
the below is displayed:
mail -a
mail: invalid option -- a
Usage: mail [-iInv] [-s subject] [-c cc-addr] [-b bcc-addr] to-addr ...
[- sendmail-options ...]
mail [-iInNv] -f [name]
mail [-iInNv] [-u user]
The rpm packages installed related to "mail" are:
rpm -qa | grep mail
sendmail-8.13.1-3.3.el4
mailx-8.1.1-37.EL4
mailcap-2.1.17-1
procmail-3.22-14.1.el4
Please, can you tell me what .rpm package i should install on my system in order to be able to use "mail -a".
thank you...

Where did you find that -a option?
You should have a look at the pair uuencode/uudecode to attach binary files to your mails.
