According to mutt(1): 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 the correct command line would be (in bash): mutt -s "trying to send a file" -a $HOME/.bashrc -- mym...@email.com <<< "simply sending a file" The error message is as clear as can be; if you omit "--", mutt considers "mym...@email.com" to be a filename, and then there's no recipient specified after that. As the syntax is properly documented, I think this bug should be closed; in the meantime, I'm lowering its severity to "minor".
