Here are the steps to send the file to someone using mutt in the command line:

  1. Open a terminal window.
  2. Compose the email using the following command:
  3. Within the mutt interface:
    • Type your email message in the text area.
    • When finished, press Ctrl+D to send the email.
  4. Replace [email protected] with the actual email address of the recipient.
  5. Replace Subject of your email with your desired subject line.

Additional tips:

  • To send multiple files, list them after the -a option, separated by spaces (e.g., -a file1.txt file2.pdf).
  • To specify a different email address for the sender, use the -e option (e.g., -e [email protected]).
  • To include a carbon copy (CC) recipient, use the -c option (e.g., -c [email protected]).
  • To include a blind carbon copy (BCC) recipient, use the -b option (e.g., -b [email protected]).

Remember:

  • Mutt uses your default email address configured for your system unless you specify otherwise with the -e option.
  • Mutt requires a working email setup for sending emails. Ensure your system’s email configuration is correct.
