Send Files as Attachments through email

Dear Members,

I am trying to send a file as an attachment from the command prompt in Linux.

I am using the following:

Code:
(echo "Find attached Exception Report"; uuencode $DATA_TOP/out/data/$err_rpt_file $err_rpt_file)|/bin/mailx -s "***Exceptions Found" davidk@xyz.com

Here err_rpt_file variable contains the actual file name(eg : test.txt).

I am getting the email with attachment without any problem, but when i open the test.txt file in notepad every thing is wrapping up in a single line and i see carriage returns at the end of each line. When i view text.txt in linux via VI editor it looks perfect. Not sure what is happening there; uuencode is some how putting those carriage returns at the end of each line. Not sure how to resolve this problem.

Your Comments are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Sandeep

Send mail using the SMTP protocol. calibre-smtp has two modes of operation. In the compose mode you specify from to and text and these are used to build and send an email message. In the filter mode, calibre-smtp reads a complete email message from STDIN and sends it. text is the body of the email message. If text is not specified, a complete email message is read from STDIN. from is the email address of the sender and to is the email address of the recipient. When a complete email is read from STDIN, from and to are only used in the SMTP negotiation, the message headers are not modified. Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-smtp that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. OPTIONS
