hi Methyle,

I have gone thru your suggested link, and I changed my function a bit
good thing is I'm getting CSV as an attachment but without any content in that attachment..could you assist.....

Code:

(
        echo "Subject: Test"
        echo "From: test@linux.site"
        echo "MIME-Version: 1.1"
	echo 'Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="-q1w2e3r4t5"'
	echo
 	echo '---q1w2e3r4t5'
        echo "Content-Type: text/html"
        echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit"
        echo "Content-Disposition: inline"
        echo "<html>"
        echo "<body>"
        echo "<FONT FACE="Courier New">"
        echo "<PRE>"
	cat /var/tmp/test
	echo '---q1w2e3r4t5'
	echo "Content-type: Application/Octet-stream; name=/var/tmp/SIGN_OFF_AP-Summary20120626.csv; type=Binary" 
	echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: X-UUencode"
	echo 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'/var/tmp/SIGN_OFF_AP-Summary20120626.csv'"'
        uuencode "/var/tmp/SIGN_OFF_AP-Summary20120626.csv" "SIGN_OFF_AP-Summary20120626.csv"
	echo '---q1w2e3r4t5--'
        echo "</PRE>"
        echo "</FONT>"
        echo "</body>"
        echo "</html>"

       sensible-mda will look for the following MDAs (in this order), and pass the mail on to the first SUID MDA found (Or first found MDA, if run
       w/euid=root): procmail(1), maildrop(1), deliver(8), mail.local(8)

       from   The sender of this email (sendmail $g variable)

       to     The recipient of this email (sendmail $u variable)

       detail The detail portion of the recipient userid (sendmail $h variable) - ie:
	      cowboy+sendmail@debian.org

       client-addr
	      TCP/IP address of the sender (sendmail ${client_addr} variable) Not used (for the nonce)
