It is usually under ~/.mozilla/firefox with a name xxxxxxxx.default .

If you never run Firefox before, this directory may not exist. You can install it and run it once, then the directory should be there.

we find answer. two mailx exists. heirloom-mailx have -S option, but mailutil’s mailx haven’t :)

That’s strange. I find from Ubuntu’s site the mailx has -S option. Please try again and check whether the package you are using is right.

@ Frank,

For sending binary attachments: using the “-a file” parameter: http://fclose.com/p/linux/man/1-mailx/#lbAD

You may need to write html by yourself if you want to use HTML: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_e-mail Or I think you can try sending html as an attachment.
