James, I have no explanation as to why your method didn't work. It was
exactly how every other tutorial on the Internet did it, but it didn't
work on this 10.5 box. It yielded the same results as my original
script. In then end, I don't need the "right" solution for this job,
just a working one.<br>
<br>
Getting postfix to play nicely with AT&T's draconian SMTP gateway
restrictions was hard enough on this box.<br>

<pre wrap="">My script doesn't use "-a". It compiles the email with the body and
attachment into one file, all plain text. No mail program should have
problem with that on any platform. I would test it on my laptop (OS
10.6), but it doesn't have a properly configured MTA.

<pre wrap="">Thanks Geoffrey & James for the help, though I had to come up with an
alternative. Mac OS X is a great gui, but the command line leaves a lot
to be desired.
I had to install fink, to install mutt, which didn't work until I
created a symlink in /sw/lib of libintl.1.dylib -> libintl.dylib .
Then I was able to
/sw/bin/mutt -a testfile.txt -s "mutt test" <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:user@email.com">user@email.com</a> < testfile.txt
The version of mail & mailx on this OS 10.5 system didn't allow for "-a"
as an option.
