Incidentally, the above line probably doesn't do what you intended; it
would place the literal string "attachment.txt" into a file named "mail",
overwriting it's previous contents if it already existed.
To mail a user the contents of a text file, try:
mail -s "Desired subject line" username < attachment.txt
-mct
