Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Answers to Frequently Asked Questions How do I send email? Transfering unix file as an email attachment Post 248 by slivi on Wednesday 15th of November 2000 05:56:13 PM

Question

I've written a a script which generates a report file, saved to a unix directory. I need to transfer it, via email, to some users. The command I'm using in my script is:
(note that subject & cur_address are set in the script prior to this line)

cat /u/sandyl/sm_o_commdt_archive/c | uuencode weekly_commiss.doc | mail -s ",subject,cur_address

The file gets emailed and attached correctly, but the problem is that the weekly_commiss.doc is 132 chars wide, so it wraps when I open it in Word. Even if I change the setup to landscape within Word, it still wraps some of the characters.

Is there any way in unix to either change the font size smaller, or some other formatting, such that when it gets emailed it will already be in the appropriate format for the user to receive it?

Thanks for your help.

NAME
Data::ICal::Entry::Alarm::Email - Represents an emailed alarm in an iCalendar file SYNOPSIS
my $valarm = Data::ICal::Entry::Alarm::Audio->new(); $valarm->add_properties( attach => [ "basic:ftp://host.com/pub/sounds/bell-01.aud", { fmttype => "audio/basic" } ], # Dat*e*::ICal is not a typo here trigger => [ Date::ICal->new( epoch => ... )->ical, { value => 'DATE-TIME' } ], ); $vevent->add_entry($valarm); DESCRIPTION
A Data::ICal::Entry::Alarm::Email object represents an emailed alarm attached to a todo item or event in an iCalendar file. (Note that the iCalendar RFC refers to entries as "components".) It is a subclass of Data::ICal::Entry and accepts all of its methods. The "attendee" properties are intended as the recipient list of the email; the "summary" as its subject; the "description" as its body; and the "attach" as its attachments. METHODS
new Creates a new Data::ICal::Entry::Alarm::Email object; sets its "ACTION" property to "EMAIL". ical_entry_type Returns "VALARM", its iCalendar entry name. optional_unique_properties According to the iCalendar standard, the "duration" and "retreat" properties may be specified at most one time for an emailed alarm, and if one is specified, the other one must be also, though this module does not enforce that restriction. mandatory_unique_properties According to the iCalendar standard, the following properties must be specified exactly once for an emailed alarm: description summary trigger In addition, the "action" property must be specified exactly once, but the module automatically sets it for you. mandatory_repeatable_properties According to the iCalendar standard, the "attendee" property must be specified at least once for an emailed alarm. optional_repeatable_properties According to the iCalendar standard, the "attach" property may be specified any number of times for an emailed alarm.
