Use exim to attach file

Hello.

From the command line, how would you attach a file & mail it out using exim?

Exim is an MTA (Mail transport agent) that doesn't concern itself
much with attachments. You want to use mutt, mailx, nail or some
other MUA (Mail user agent) to do the attaching ... for mutt this
looks something like:

Code:

echo "Message ..."| mutt -s Subject -a file recipient
