Since you are getting the correct output, then you know that your script works. However, not all email clients can cope with uuencoded attachments. You will have to attach files to your message using MIME, so perhaps consider using mutt.

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The  biff  command  informs the system whether you want to be notified when mail arrives during the current terminal session. The following

       The following command disables notification: biff n

       When mail notification is enabled, the From: and Subject: header lines and up to the first five lines of the  message  are  displayed.  The
       total display is 560 characters, or seven lines terminated by newline characters, whichever occurs first.

       The biff y command is often included in the $HOME/.login or $HOME/.profile file to be executed each time you log in.

       The biff command operates asynchronously. For synchronous notification, use the MAIL variable of sh or ksh, or the mail variable of csh.

EXAMPLES

       To  display  the current setting, enter: biff To be notified during the current terminal session whenever mail arrives, enter the following
       in your $HOME/.login or $HOME/.profile file: biff y
