shellscript an attachment?

Ah - I think you've got a parameter ordering problem. All the options to mutt (or any command line tool) need to go first:

Code: Select all

do shell script "echo | /opt/local/bin/mutt -s \"Sunday Test\" -a /Users/bob/Desktop/SecuritySpyimage.jpg bob@aol.com"

The direct parameter (the one without a "-LETTER" must go after all the other options - so "-s" and "-a" need to go first. Substituting a good image and my email address works correctly using above command. That would explain why you're not getting the attachment - the "-a" option is coming after the email address which is the direct parameter so it's getting ignored.

Hello again!

That did it!

Code: Select all

do shell script "echo | /opt/local/bin/mutt -s \"Sunday Test\" -a /Users/bob/Desktop/SecuritySpyimage.jpg bob@aol.com"

Also had to use a Postfix.app to get it going through.

Thanks nsheldon and jay for hanging in there and not giving up on helping, it made all the difference!
