How to attach a file using mail command on Linux?

Question

I'm on a server running a Linux shell. I need to mail a simple file to a recipient. How to do this, prefereably using only the mail command? UPDATE: got a good solution, using mutt instead: ``` $ echo | mutt -a syslogs.tar.gz admin@domain.org ```

Accepted Answer

Example using uuencode:

```
uuencode surfing.jpeg surfing.jpeg | mail sylvia@home.com
```
