It Doesnt attach the txt file while embedding the mail body.
Madhan,

I tried this already..

uuencode abc.txt abc.txt | mailx -s "Attaching test" user@domain.com < your_file_containing_message

This is sending out a mail with the body of the "your_file_containing_message"
file.Doesnt attach the txt file.

Charan.

I am very sure the above command would work as requested.

Could you please post the exact command what you had tried?

That would be helpful to find out the problem.
