- Open a terminal window.
- Compose the email using the following command:
mutt -a echomy.sql -s "Subject of your email" recipient_email@example.com
- Within the mutt interface:
- Type your email message in the text area.
- When finished, press Ctrl+D to send the email.
- Replace
recipient_email@example.com
with the actual email address of the recipient. - 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 sender_email@example.com
). - To include a carbon copy (CC) recipient, use the
-c
option (e.g.,-c cc_recipient@example.com
). - To include a blind carbon copy (BCC) recipient, use the
-b
option (e.g.,-b bcc_recipient@example.com
).
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.
