Automatically attach a file to a mail with mutt
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I am searching for a way to automatically attach a file ~/.mutt/example.vcf to any mail I compose with mutt.
I tried something like send-hook 'attach-file ~/.mutt/fauve.vcf' but it doesn't work.
Have you, please, any idea how to do that ?

Easiest solution consist in to just create a simple alias for mutt:
alias mutt="/usr/bin/mutt -a $HOME/.std.vcf"
so if you enter mutt mutt -a $HOME/.std.vcf will be executed. That's it!
Normally in order to compose a email with attachments mime-construct is used:
mime-construct --to "nerd@example" --subject 'hi there'
--string "test" --file-attach /etc/motd
There are some solutions to automaticly add your *.vcf:
vcf-to-mutt
muttquery.py
However, it is unusual to use vcf on unices where a signature is more common.
I haven’t mime-construct installed so I can send mails with mutt. Then, if what I want to do need the installation of mime-construct, I will install it.

Thank you for vcf-to-mutt and muttquery. I will try them. Yes, I can use a link to my vcf but some email program sync automatically the addressbook when they found a vcf as an attachment. That’s why I prefer this way :)

Vcf-to-mutt is an interesting script. Thank you o/ but it doesn’t resolve my problem :) Perhaps the solution are very complicated. Then as you tell me I will probably forget this idea and only quote the link to my vcard in a signature. Thank you.
