Re: cygwin-email utility clipping attached zips

[Joey Officer <jofficer at wi dot rr dot com>]

I'm using it send attachments, but I would like to be able to send 
multiple attachments using a wildcard expression.  Unfortunately when I 
specify something like *.pdf , it only grabs the first PDF file within 
the directory.

my sample command line is something along the following:

$ email.exe user@domain.com -s testing -a *.pdf < body.txt

This grabs files1.pdf but not files2.pdf or any other file.

Is anyone using email.exe to send multiple 'unknown' attachments?
