uuencode error
hi all,
i get the following error when i try and email a file as an attachment on a solaris box. the command is

Code:
/usr/bin/uuencode $fileName $fileName | /usr/bin/mailx -s "file" $emailTo

and the error is :

/usr/bin/uuencode: ISO8859-1 to 646 conversion: Invalid argument

The funny thing is that the email shows up in the inbox fine with the attachement !! why does it throw the error then ??


thanks in advance.
