It might work if you change this line:
( cat <<HERE; uuencode "${ATTFILE}" "${ATTNAME}" ) | sendmail -oi -t
to:
( cat <<HERE; < "${ATTFILE}" ) | sendmail -oi -t

I'm not too sure about the order of appearance (either the header or the attachment coomes first, I'm not sure...

I know how to send an email with an attachment in a script.



But im trying to send an email and need to set Content-Type to text/html and insert a file as the body and not attachment.

Send email with file as attachment:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
 
ATTFILE=$1
ATTNAME=$1
MAILTO=me@home.com
MAILFROM=someone@mail.com
 
( cat <<HERE; uuencode "${ATTFILE}" "${ATTNAME}" ) | sendmail -oi -t
From: ${MAILFROM}
To: ${MAILTO}
Subject: Requested file attached $ATTNAME
 
HERE

How can I change this to put the ATTFILE directly in the body?

Im pretty sure it will take Content-Type like this:
Code:
.
.
From: ${MAILFROM}
To: ${MAILTO}
Content-Type: text/html
.
.

Thanks....
