最近写一个脚本，需要直接在linux文本终端里面直接发送附件，而linux自带的那个什么mail命令，是由mailx包生成的，本身不带发送附件的功能。
放狗搜了一圈，发现基本上使用的都是mailx+uuencode这招。详情见http://www.webjx.com/server/linux-2724.html”
但是这种方式，是将文件转成ASCII码进行传输，在某些客户端(比如某些web客户端)，很可能收到的就是一堆乱码。为了解决这个问题，我推荐另一个文本模式的邮件客户端：nail
不知道centos的官方源中有没有，但是，在rpmforge的源里面是肯定有的。装好之后，本身只会生成/usr/bin/nail这个命令，要是你很习惯用mail这个命令的话，可以考虑自己建立一个软链。
另附rpmforge源中nail包的information
