Multiple attachment from file

Morning, I want to send email via mutt with attachment list from text file.

Here is my code :

#!/bin/bash
subj=$(cat /home/lazuardi/00000000042/subject.txt)
attc=$(find /home/lazuardi/00000000042 -name "*.*" | grep -v body.txt | grep -v email.txt | grep -v subject.txt | grep -v body.html > attachment.txt)
ls=$(for x in $attc; do read; done)
while read recp; do
    while read ls; do
        mutt -e "set content_type=text/html" $recp -s "$subj" -- $ls < /home/lazuardi/00000000042
    done < /home/lazuardi/attachment.txt
done < /home/lazuardi/00000000042/email.txt

I still can't attach file inside attachment.txt I've try with FOR LOOP, it has same result. How should I do?

You should place your variables around quotes to prevent word splitting. It causes a single argument to become two or more:

mutt -e "set content_type=text/html" "$recp" -s "$subj" -- "$ls" < /home/lazuardi/00000000042

And I'm not sure about reading input from a directory?

/home/lazuardi/00000000042

Assignments here don't have meaning as well:

attc=$(find /home/lazuardi/00000000042 -name "*.*" | grep -v body.txt | grep -v email.txt | grep -v subject.txt | grep -v body.html > attachment.txt)
ls=$(for x in $attc; do read; done)

Try this one:

#!/bin/bash

subj=$(</home/lazuardi/00000000042/subject.txt)

attachments=()
while IFS= read -r file; do
    attachments+=("$file")
done < <(exec find /home/lazuardi/00000000042 -name "*.*" | grep -v -e body.txt -e email.txt -e subject.txt -e body.html)

echo '---- Attachments ----'
printf '%s\n' "${attachments[@]}"
echo

recipients=()
while read recp; do
    recipients+=("$recp")
done < /home/lazuardi/00000000042/email.txt

echo '---- Recipients ----'
printf '%s\n' "${recipients[@]}"
echo

for recp in "${recipients[@]}"; do
    for attachment in "${attachments[@]}"; do
        echo "Sending content to $recp with subject $subj and attachment $attachment."
        mutt -e "set content_type=text/html" "$recp" -s "$subj" -- "$attachment" < /home/lazuardi/00000000042/body.txt
    done
done

Which if Bash version is 4.0+ can be simplified to:

#!/bin/bash

subj=$(</home/lazuardi/00000000042/subject.txt)

readarray -t attachments \
    < <(exec find /home/lazuardi/00000000042 -name "*.*" | grep -v -e body.txt -e email.txt -e subject.txt -e body.html)

echo '---- Attachments ----'
printf '%s\n' "${attachments[@]}"
echo

readarray -t recipients < /home/lazuardi/00000000042/email.txt

echo '---- Recipients ----'
printf '%s\n' "${recipients[@]}"
echo

for recp in "${recipients[@]}"; do
    for attachment in "${attachments[@]}"; do
        echo "Sending content to $recp with subject $subj and attachment $attachment."
        mutt -e "set content_type=text/html" "$recp" -s "$subj" -- "$attachment" < /home/lazuardi/00000000042/body.txt
    done
done
