Hello,

Thanks for the suggestion.

The main problem with overriding or renaming mailx is how to read the attachment file from the origional command line as
Code:
cat abcd.txt | uuencode abcd.txt | mailx -s "subject" abc@xyz.com

How in the shell script I can read the attachment file - abcd.txt so that I can send the same mail to my email address at place of abc@xyz.com.

Regards
Shubham

NAME
lr_getbody - Extract file, sender and subject information from an email SYNOPSIS
eval `lr_getbody [-c content-type] <messagefile>` DESCRIPTION
lr_getbody reads an email message on stdin (or specified as argument), will extract the submitter address and the subject from that email. It will also extract the biggest attachment or the first one having a content-type matching the content-type argument. This information is passed to the caller by printing that information in a format suitable for eval. The following variable will be printed on STDOUT: lr_getbody_SUBMITTER Email address of the submitter. That is the first email that is found in the headers (searched in the following order): Reply-To, From, Sender. This will only contains the address portion (without the <>). lr_getbody_TO The email address to which the email was sent. lr_getbody_SUBJECT Subject of the message. That string is sanitized. lr_getbody_DATE The date of the message. That string is sanitized. lr_getbody_FILE Path to the temporary file holding the found attachment. lr_getbody_OK This will be set if the operation was completed successfully. It is possible for lr_getbody to fail to extract the attachment, but the header information might still be available. This script is used by lr_processmail(1) and lr_rawmail2mail(1). VERSION
