Re: [Gnuplot-info] How to include a plot in an email?

[Thomas S. <t.s...@fz...>]

you need to put your plot image into a multipart message with appropriate
MIME headers.
see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME

there are several ways to do it:

on newer linux systems there is the 'nail' program which is in principle
'mail' with
some MIME extensions.

I personally prefer Tcl with some additional libraries
see http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/mime-README.html
but other languages/interpreters offer comparable functionality.
