Do you mean that the contents of the original attached file varies from that you got in the mail? If your answer is yes, I am surprised. What I have used for this purpose is the one given below and always I used to get the file as it is.

uuencode FileNameWithPath "AttachmentName" | mailx -s "MailSubject" MailAddress

For example If I send the File abcd.xls as

uuencode /home/usr/bb/abcd.xls "AttendanceList.xls" | mailx -s "List Of Attendance" rajendra@yahoo.com

Then the file abcd.xls will be attached in the mail with the name AttendenceList.xls and the mail subject will be - List Of Attendance.

Hope this helps.
Thank you
