The attach file command (<Ctrl>J) (with the cursor located in the header area of the message composition screen) is the primary means of attaching an external file as a MIME attachment. The attachment will be encoded to ensure safe delivery at the receiving end, which means that you can attach any type of file: spreadsheet, CAD drawing, desktop-published document, clip art graphic, and so on. However, the recipient of your message needs to have email software capable of handling MIME attachments.
The file to be attached must be on the same system as Pine. If you use Pine on a UNIX machine but have files on a PC or Macintosh, the files must be transferred to the UNIX system running Pine before they can be attached to the message being composed.
You cannot use any wildcards in specifying the file to be included. You can type in the filename directly or use Pine's file browser to select one from the listing of files in your directory.
