[CSC 335] Sending e-mail with attachments on cobra

[Andrew Pounds]

If you are on cobra it is pretty simple to send me an e-mail with one or 
more attachments.  At the command prompt type the following

mail -a attachement.java pounds_aj at mercer.edu

You will then be prompted for a subject line.   Once you enter that you 
can enter your e-mail message.  This is important -- you END the message 
by hitting <CTRL>D.   That is, you hold down the Ctrl key on your 
keyboard while you hit the "d" key.  Once you do this you will see "EOT" 
(which stands for end of tape -- another way of the program signifying 
that it has reached the end of its input) and the message will be sent.

If you want to send multiple attachments, just put additional "-a" 
commands on the mail line.    I just sent two programs to myself a few 
minutes ago using the command...


*cobra:~ %* mail -a master.f -a triangle.f pounds_aj at mercer.edu
Subject: Testing attachments
This is a test.
EOT
*cobra:~ % *

Since I am teaching multiple classes that are using cobra, please make 
sure that you give me a descriptive subject line and also please include 
your class (CSC 330, CSC 335, CSC 485, etc).

You can obviously send e-mail to me  from other locations using your own 
email programs. I just wanted you all to know that this option is 
available to you for things where you might be struggling with code and 
need an easy way to send it to me.
