attach multiple files from command line
Dear Mutt users,
is there an easy way to attach multiple files to a message, from the
commandline, using a wildcard? I start mutt from the commandline a
lot, like so
mutt -a weekly_report.txt peter
which works fine. I'd also like to do the following:
mutt -a *.png peter
however that doesn't work as intended, the first file is attached and
the rest is converted to email adresses. If I enclose the wildcard in
single quotes '*.png', the wildcard is not interpreted by mutt. The
only way to get this to work (that I know of) is to type
mutt -a one.png -a two.png -a three.png peter
which gets cumbersome with 20+ files. There's a good alternative
(attaching files from within mutt), but I was wondering if anyone has
solved this before. Any clever shell scripts to add the -a option for
each of the filenames?
Kind regards,
Hein Zelle
