If what you want is in a file:

	mailx \
		-s "subject goes here" \
		a1@a1.com a2@a1.com b2@b1.com \
		< message-body

If you want to pipe some commands into it:

	{
	    date
	    echo "------ 'myfile' follows ------"
	    cat myfile
	    echo "------ end of 'myfile' -------"
	} |
		mailx \
			-s "subject goes here" \
			a1@a1.com a2@a1.com b2@b1.com

If you really need to *attach* a file (as opposed to just including
it in the content of the message), the easiest way to do that is
to install the "mutt" mail client ( http://www.mutt.org/ ), which
lets you attach files with the "-a" command-line option.

Hope that helps...
