Attach image in the email body using mail or mailx in Bash
Question
I want to attach an image in email body using the mail or mailx from shell script. mutt and sendmail utilities is not available and I dont have privileges to install those.
uuencode is also not available
First I tried sending the HTML content using mailx using the below command and it didnt work. It just send the raw data with html tags to the mail
export body="<html><header><title>This is title</title></header><body>Hello world</body></html>"
echo $body | mailx -S "MIME-Version: 1.0" -S "Content-Type: text/html" -vvv -s "test mail" -r sender@xx.com reciever@yy.com
I tried append-headers with the option -a and it didnt work since -a is meant for attachment
And also tried with below command and it just attaches the image and not visible in the body.
mailx -s "test mail" -r sender@xx.com reciever@yy.com < Capture.PNG
Can anyone help me with the correct way to send a email with picture in the body

Simplest answer:
mail -s "the subject" -a attachment.xyz you@email.com < body.txt
If that doesn't work for you, use multipart MIME. cf this post on Stack Exchange for an example.
