RES: email -attach

[<ricardo.couto@gmail.com>]

I know -attach  file1 -attach file2 -attach file 3 works fine.

I just sugest you implemente a code with -attach "file1, file2, file3".

Thanks a lot.

There are a number of errors in that package documentation mentioning features not (or no longer) implemented; the --help is more accurate; believe and use what works:

	"This option can be used multiple times to add multiple files to attach."

BTW: it uses getopt_long_only(3) [man-pages-linux package] which allows single dash or double dash long option names as well as single dash short option characters.
