Sendmail Script: Gmail cannot find attachments
Hi.

I am using a script on HP-UX to send emails that include a Pdf attachment to clients. The scipt makes use of sendmail.

The scripts works for everything except gmail. When I go on gmail via my Web Browser, I can see the message with the attachment, but if I try to view or download the attachment, gmail tells me that the attachment cannot be found at its original source.

If I use this same script to send the message to my hotmail account or my work email, everything is fine.

Can somebody please help? The script is shown below.

Code:
echo "From: ${MAIL_FROM}" > $MSG_FILE
echo "To: ${MAIL_TO}" >> $MSG_FILE
echo "Subject: ${SUBJECT}" >> $MSG_FILE
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0" >> $MSG_FILE
echo 'Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="--_GvXjxJ+pjyke8COw"' >> $MSG_FILE
echo " " >> $MSG_FILE
echo "----_GvXjxJ+pjyke8COw" >> $MSG_FILE
echo "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1" >> $MSG_FILE
echo "Content-Disposition: inline" >> $MSG_FILE
echo " " >> $MSG_FILE
cat $BODY_FILE >> $MSG_FILE
echo " " >> $MSG_FILE
echo "----_GvXjxJ+pjyke8COw" >> $MSG_FILE
echo "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" >> $MSG_FILE
echo "Content-Disposition: inline; filename=${ATT_FILE_NAME}" >> $MSG_FILE
echo "Content-transfer-encoding: X-UUencode">>${MSG_FILE}
echo " " >> $MSG_FILE
/usr/bin/uuencode  ${ATT_FILE} ${ATT_FILE} >> ${MSG_FILE}
echo " " >> $MSG_FILE
echo "----_GvXjxJ+pjyke8COw--" >> $MSG_FILE
echo " " >> $MSG_FILE
/usr/lib/sendmail ${MAIL_TO} < ${MSG_FILE};EXITSTATUS=$?

AMANDA-SCRIPTS(7)						    Miscellanea 						 AMANDA-SCRIPTS(7)

NAME

       amanda-scripts - Configuring and using the Script API

DESCRIPTION

       The Script API is a flexible system for invoking user-supplied scripts at various points in the execution of Amanda. This manual page
       describes the operation and configuration of the API. For help writing Script API scripts, see http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Script_API.

SCRIPTS

       This section lists the scripts included with Amanda, see the individual man page for instructions on using them. For complete How-To
       information, consult the Amanda wiki at http://wiki.zmanda.com.

       o   amzfs-snapshot(8), - create/destroy zfs snapshot.

       o   script-email(8), - send email.

       Script properties work just like application properties: they are insensitive to case, and - (dash) and _ (underscore) may be used
       interchangeably.

SCRIPTS OUTPUT PROPERTY

       A pre-dle-amcheck, pre-dle-estimate or pre-dle-backup executed on the client can output property on stdout that are sent to the
       application. If the output line matches "PROPERTY str1 str2", Amanda sets a property called "str1" by the value of "str2", that property is
       sent to the application.
