mailx question
hello

in the middle of my sh script, I am using mailx like this:

mailx -s "Sybase Installation on $i" x@abc.com < /net/share/shared/install.output.$i


"i" stands for the remote server such as SIROE

I am expecting to receive an email with subject "Sybase Installation on SIROE" and attachment the file /net/share/shared/install.output.siroe

The email I am receiving as the subject: Sybase Installation on
$i is not affected inside " "

any idea please?
thx

rcvpack

RCVPACK(1)							     [nmh-1.5]								RCVPACK(1)

NAME

       rcvpack - append message to file

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/mh/rcvpack file [-mbox] [-mmdf] [-version] [-help]

DESCRIPTION

       The rcvpack program will append a copy of the message to the file listed on its command line.

       If the -mbox switch is given (the default), then the messages are separated using mbox (uucp) style delimiters.	This is the format used by
       most mail clients (elm, mailx, etc.).

       If the -mmdf switch is given, then the messages are separated by mmdf style delimiters.	Each message in the  file  is  separated  by  four
       CTRL-A's and a newline.

       rcvpack will correctly lock and unlock the file to serialize access to the file, when running multiple copies of rcvpack .

       In general, its use is obsoleted by the file action of slocal, although it might still have occasional uses in various shell scripts.

FILES

       /etc/nmh/mts.conf	  nmh mts configuration file

SEE ALSO

       rcvdist(1), rcvstore(1), rcvtty(1), slocal(1)

BUGS

       Only two return codes are meaningful, others should be.
