I usually have no problem sending attachments with mutt. But now I
want to send a directory that holds files:

./patthToDirectory/directory

This does not work because I gather attachements must be
single files. Is not a directory a single file?.

So I zipped the directory. But when I try to attach it I get the error

"Error sending message, child exited 1 ()"

My fishing on line did not find a solution. What is this "child"? Is
it the attachment process?

My version of mutt is 2.2.6-1

The size of the zip file is 164 Mb

The file has a .zip extension.

The path is no longer than usual
