[ale] Script to send email with attachments

[mylists at alexandertech.biz (spoof)]

A shell script using mutt as the client should work for you.

Example of sending using mutt:   $ echo "Message content ...." | mutt -s 
<subject> -a </file/to/attach> <recipient email addy>

Wrap that with a loop and you should be able to accomplish what you want.
