Hi,

I have been trying to shoot an email with the email body to be obtained from a file.

Can someone please help me with it..

I have been trying to use the MAILX commad for the same.

mailx -s "test email" -r sender@test.com < file.txt

but it sends the file as an attachment,while i need the contents of File.txt in the email Body.Appreciate any help...Thanks,

for quite a few applications/scripts:

where I previously set
subjmsg to text
and logf is the text of my program execution

Where you say this appears as an attachment, can you send to another email address and check that account. Presumably with a different domain, you might use a different email program. (My thinking is that your email client on the receiving side is doing this.)

I think you maybe need to do uuencode, first gzip up the file

uuencode <filename> <filename> | mailx -s <something>

Try this code..Hope this works..

uuencode abc.zip 'basefile abc.zip' |mailx -s "some text " abc@abc.com

or


uuencode abc.zip `basefile abc.zip` |mail -s "some text " abc@abc.com
