From the mutt man page: When attaching single or multiple files, separating filenames and recipient addresses with "--" is mandatory, e.g:

$ mutt -a image.jpg  --  addr1  or mutt -a img.jpg *.png -- addr1 addr2.

The -a option must be placed at the end of command line options. So one has to place a double dash between attachment and recipient. Took me a bit to figure that out, maybe it helps someone else here

In reply to RTFM. mailx -s "Subject Here" -a backup.zip user@example.com

-a is for headers
-A is for files

It's a lowercase '-a' to attach a file, not upper.

when I tried to install the commands which you shared on this link, It states error.

Could you guide me on what really I need to do?

following are the commands and error message:-

~$ sudo apt-get install mailutils
