How to use ssmtp ?

[a12]

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately I do neither find 'uuencode' nor 'uuenview' in
www.cygwin.com

I have also tried:
cat <file> |ssmtp -s test recipient@domain.com
and:
ssmtp -s test recipient@domain.com < <file>
and neither of them send the requested file.

Any hints ?
