Not able to attach text in body of email while sending mail with attachment

Hi,

We have been trying to send mail with attachment and it is going fine, but when we try to attach a text to the body of the email, we find that the mail is going fine with the body text but the attachment is not going through. We are using ksh.

The command that is successfull without the body of text is;
Code:
uuencode sourcefile sendfile | mailx -s "Test" -r email1@.com email2@.com

The following command sends the mail with the body text but not attachment;
Code:
 
uuencode sourcefile sendfile | mailx -s "Test" -r email1@.com email2@.com < test.txt

In the second command the "test.txt" file has the body text of the mail.

We would like to send mail with attachment and with some text in the body of the mail.

Can someone help me in this case. Thanks in advance.

GPG-MAILKEYS(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   GPG-MAILKEYS(1)

NAME
gpg-mailkeys - sends emails containing keys to their owners SYNOPSIS
gpg-mailkeys id... DESCRIPTION
gpg-mailkeys sends the owners of the keys listed on the command line a mail each, containing their public key. After signing, you can use this tool to send everyone the new signatures they just got. If you're interested in encrypting the signature before it's sent, in order to verify that the associated address actually belongs to the key owner, you should check out caff OPTIONS
None ENVIRONMENT
NAME Set the name to use when sending messages EMAIL Set the email address to use when sending messages SUBJECT Set the subject of the messages you send TEXT Set the body text of the messages SENDMAIL_ARGS Set arguments to pass to /usr/sbin/sendmail. This can be useful to set credentials in order to authenticate to an smtp server when using ssmtp for example. FILES
The behavior of gpg-mailkeys can be updated through some files available in the user home directory. Thus, ~/.gpg-mailkeysrc allows the user to overwrite the default value for the above environment variables, and any text in ~/.signature will be appended to the end of the body text of the message.
