I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I've always done this:

mutt -s SubjectHere -a /path/to/attachment someone@somewhere.com < /dev/null

It's nice because the e-mail just goes with the attachment and
no further prompts are needed, but how does the "email_body" fit into this?

If I try Eric's example I'm told:

-bash: email_body: No such file or directory

Patrick.
