Sent an email attachment, but the attachment is empty
I'm trying to send a .zip file from my unix box to my work email (email client outlook)

The file name that I'm trying to sent is sites.zip and this is how I do it:
Code:
uuencode sites.zip | mailx -s "testing" myname@mydomain.com

When I open the .zip, the zip is empty. Looking around the we, I see that the reason is that I need to convert from unix format to dos format and I can do that by using unix2dos. But when I try I get an error:

Code:
unix2dos sites.zip | mailx -s   myname@mydomain.com
could not open /dev/kbd to get keyboard type US keyboard assumed
could not get keyboard type US keyboard assumed

Thanks in advance
