Send Mail with attachment and a body

Hi All,

I am using a shell script where i will be sending a mail with some text/message in it and an attachment.

The problem starts here:

i am not able to do both the things together. i.e., either i am able to send some message or an attachment.

the problem is not only with my script the mail command of unix is also outputing the same result. What i would like to know is, do i have to do some settings or please tell me what am i doing wrong.

from the command line i am using:

1.) uuencode pic.jpg pic.jpg | mail abc@xyz.com < body.txt

2.) (cat body.txt uuencode pic.jpg pic.jpg) | mail abc@xyz.com body.txt

and many more.

please help

Regards,
Manoj
