Issue with mail attachment

Hi Unix Gurus,

Need your help regarding a weird issue that I'm facing. I have an automated unix script that sends out PGP encrypted reports/feeds to our users as mail attahments. Every thing has been going well and all the users have no issues except one, who instead of getting the attachment, gets some scrambled text as message body.

The mailx command I use is as follows after setting appropriate values for the variables:

Code:

uuencode "${scriptDir}/${outFileName}" "${outFileName}" | mailx -r ${sendersMailId} -s "${subjectLine}" ${emailAddresses}

The users' mail looks as follows:

Code:

begin 644
test.xls.pgp
MA0(. TYTGI40$<@I$ @ DMV12\R**?G(LVR[B
^KKP:Y6??5J$D$/7*=AS>/
M.0N@XF#XM7A,% [X]E)-+T+2:]4[2M
*1U+HV>$C"('4CM]',T+MZFZ>IU(7
MUG#O2]&:K5\*V?'XER;
%@4M5?:XBO2'<_D"VM5X)>1-T3_1<A3TA?D&^"'N
MRON(7:L$A"8%R
93)*1RMDTY
DMJ486BH<GA,OO0J3Y>\,#.!E2N@U_*ZPK?+=$+5_I$.G9\Q;
 
end

All the other recepients in the same command (variable emailAddresses) are getting the mail with proper attachment. My guess is that some thing is wrong with the end users mail server setup.

Was wondering if anyone of you ever faced such an issue and if yes, how you fixed it?

regards,
Arun.
