I'm runing on HP-UX B.11.11

I used your code exactly the way you wrote it only changing the values in the export statment for the various variables (ie email address, html body, attachment & subject). On the fist run I received the email with the html body and the attachment but received the errors regarding the -m flag.

On a subsequent run, I removed the -m flag from both blocks and received the email with the html body but to copies of my $ATTACH file were attached. The code is as follows:
Code:
EMAIL_BOUNDARY_STRING=Z${RANDOM}${RANDOM}${RANDOM}${RANDOM}
(
echo "To: $MAILTO"
echo "Subject: $SUBJECT"
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
echo 'Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="${EMAIL_BOUNDARY_STRING}"'
echo '--${EMAIL_BOUNDARY_STRING}'
echo "Content-Type: text/html"
echo "Content-Disposition: inline"
cat $BODY
echo '--${EMAIL_BOUNDARY_STRING}'
echo 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="'$(basename $ATTACH)'"'
echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"
echo 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'$(basename $ATTACH)'"'
uuencode $ATTACH $(basename $ATTACH)
echo '--${EMAIL_BOUNDARY_STRING}'
echo 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="'$(basename $ATTACH)'"'
echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"
echo 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'$(basename $ATTACH)'"'
uuencode $ATTACH $(basename $ATTACH)
echo '--${EMAIL_BOUNDARY_STRING}--'
) | /usr/sbin/sendmail $MAILTO

On the last run, I removed the 2nd block which references the $ATTACH file and this time I received the email with the html body, my $ATTACH file and a 2nd attached file that was an empty .txt file. The code is as follows:
Code:
EMAIL_BOUNDARY_STRING=Z${RANDOM}${RANDOM}${RANDOM}${RANDOM}
(
echo "To: $MAILTO"
echo "Subject: $SUBJECT"
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
echo 'Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="${EMAIL_BOUNDARY_STRING}"'
echo '--${EMAIL_BOUNDARY_STRING}'
echo "Content-Type: text/html"
echo "Content-Disposition: inline"
cat $BODY
echo '--${EMAIL_BOUNDARY_STRING}'
echo 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="'$(basename $ATTACH)'"'
echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"
echo 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'$(basename $ATTACH)'"'
uuencode $ATTACH $(basename $ATTACH)
echo '--${EMAIL_BOUNDARY_STRING}'
) | /usr/sbin/sendmail $MAILTO
