Email with attachment & HTML body
I'm new to UNIX and need some assistance in creating/sending an email containing HTML body and a .csv attachment. I've found
numerous posts on the forum that discuss this, however none of the solutions work. I've created a KSH script running on UNIX AIX.
I found a post with a solution that works on a linux box which has uuencode --base64, but it did not work for me. The code ran
but did not send the email.
Any suggestions......

My .html file looks something like this:
Code:
# cat email.html
<html>
<body>
Sample HTML file</p>
</body>
</html>

I'm able to send the html formatted email with no attachments using the following code:
Code:
cat email.html \
| /usr/lib/sendmail -t "someone@email.com"

When I update the code to include the attachement as follows, the email is sent with the attachment but the email body is missing:
Code:
echo "To: $p_email\nSubject: $month $year Subject\n" > $mailfile
(cat email.html; \
uuencode ${ofile1} ${ofile1} >> $mailfile) \
| /usr/lib/sendmail -t < ${mailfile}
