How is mutt configured to send mail? What's the value of $sendmail
and/or $smtp_url?

To quote the man page:
-a file [...]
Attach a file to your message using MIME. To attach
multiple files, separating filenames and recipient
addresses with "--" is mandatory,
e.g. mutt -a img.jpg *.png -- addr1 addr2
> 3. I need to send the contents of a file as Message body. How.?
Use the file as input, like so:
mutt recipient@xxxxxxxxxxx < message.txt
That's in the mutt man page too.
> 4. What does mutt command returns.?
You could find that out by just trying a test message...

Well, mutt won't move them, but you can do it all by yourself:
mutt -s subject -a file1 file2 < body.txt && \
mv file1 file2 folder/
Is there some reason you don't want to do that?
A lot of this you can find out by just thumbing through the
documentation.

Thanks for a Quick Response...
For Point 1 . Its not giving any error but mail is not sent. How to
know the
> error. How to de-bug such things..
How is mutt configured to send mail? What's the value of $sendmail
and/or $smtp_url
ANSWER :
echo $sendmail
sendmail: Undefined variable.
stage2qa018 25 /x/web/STAGE2QA018/batch> echo $sendmail
sendmail: Undefined variable.
stage2qa018 26 /x/web/STAGE2QA018/batch>
For Point 4,and 5 my requirement is on successful sending of the Files
only I need to move the files from the current folder to Sent/ folder.
Hence I need to check the return value .
