How to send e-mail with text and attachments by makemime and sendmail ?

[Sertac TULLUK]

Hahahaha, that is funny, you don't need to defend BB, as it is my star 
project already :)

Yes, I just want the -m and -j switches to be tested with some BB developer 
( as in my 1st e-mail), and if they are really not working, I wish them to 
work fine like ubuntu, and then I will make a Tutorial based on the new 
busybox makemime fix, and share with all people to make everyone happy :)

By this way, many embedded devices which use BB will find a chance to share 
their config files, and inform their developers or users by e-mail..

In my specific case, I want to let people to share their TV Channel DB in 
their STB with their friends, by sending e-mails directly using busybox with 
a small shell script. The text body is also quite improtant for me, as it 
will provide lots of useful information ( Such as version number) to the 
recipient.

Sending complex e-mails will not be a hard issue for such high level 
developers of BB, I think.

Can you (or someone else) help me to test -m and -j switches for their right 
operation?

Again, many thanks.

Can you _try to mimick_ -m and -j by means of a shell script? I recall
I express didn't code this options into BB, due to their "redundancy"
as it seemed to me ago.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I just assume you use some shell helper to
send complex emails -- this _helper_ could be improved and shared, w/o
need to push stuff to BB.

Defending BB makemime purity, :)
