FYI: In case you didn't already know it, the first file named in the uuencode command is the source file. Include the path if necessary. The second file is the name that will be used when the recipient extracts it from their email.
Hey,
Thanks for the reply.
One more question regarding the same topic.
How to send a mail which contains the text as well as the attachment file ?

uuencode(5) File Formats Manual uuencode(5)
NAME
uuencode file format
DESCRIPTION
The command generates files in a format that allows them to be successfully transferred by systems which strip the high bit from an 8-bit
byte. decodes uuencoded files.
The uuencode file format consists of three sections: header, body, and trailer. The header is a line is of the form:
begin 644 "filename.ext"
where "644" is a -format permissions byte for the file and "filename.ext" is the name of the encoded file.
The body section is the encoded representation of the source file. Three bytes of input file data are encoded into four bytes of output
data.
The 24 input bits are divided up into four pieces of six bits each. The integer value 32 (the ASCII value for the space character) is added
to each of these pieces to move them outside of the range of control characters. To avoid using the space character in the encoding, pieces
with value zero are encoded using backquote (ASCII value 96) instead of zero. The resulting character is one of the this set (ASCII values
96,33-95):
A line itself contains three segments: a length character (encoded using the "add a space" algorithm described above), the body of the
line, typically (although not required to be) 60 output characters long, representing 45 input bytes, and (of course) a linefeed. The
length character specifies the number of valid input bytes on the line (so, for a line which is 60 encoded bytes, the length value would be
45). Decoding programs should decode no further than the specified length on a single line.
The trailer, which must exist, consists of a single backquote ("`", ASCII 96) character on a line by itself, directly followed by on a line
by itself.
is the canonical filename extension for uuencoded files.
BUGS
uudecode does not read all permutations of the file format described in this man page.
Ancient versions of uuencode used a space character (ASCII 32) in the encoding to represent zero. Many (arguably broken) mailers and trans-
port agents stripped, rewrapped, or otherwise mangled this format, so the space was later changed to the backquote, ASCII 96. Decoders may
attempt to read the older format if they wish, though it's unlikely to be encountered in practice at this point in time.
The uuencode encoding method is highly ASCII-centric. In particular, the character set used doesn't work well on EBCDIC-based systems.
(EBCDIC, generally used by IBM mainframes, is an old alternative character encoding; most computers use ASCII instead).
Many variants of uuencode on various platforms generate different forms of line checksums, using to represent the checksum one or more
encoded characters after the last counted character in a line. Because these formats are different and impossible to distinguish (with
certainty), such characters should be ignored by decoding implementations.
The uuencode encoding format has no provisions for segmented files. Writers of segmenting utilities should be careful to avoid using char-
acter sequences that may naturally occur in the encoding (such as sequences of dashes ("---")) to divide sections.
SEE ALSO
The MIME Base64 encoding (documented in RFC 2045) is a consistent, cross-platform-savvy message encoding which should be used in place of
UUEncode wherever possible.
The Unix-Hater's Handbook (IDG, 1994) identifies the folly of the older zero-encoded-as-space versions of uuencode.
