But that won't work for files with commas in the name!  (Rare, but it
can happen...)  I'd prefer something like

email user@example -s test -a "$(ls -1 *.pdf | tr '\n' ',' )" < sample.txt

Which would only fail if the file name had embedded newlines.  I
suppose `email' probably wouldn't be able to process a file with an
embedded comma in the name one way or the other, but I find this sort
of solution more portable than messing with IFS.
