Sending an email with a body and attachments using uuencode

Hi,

Im having a bit of an issue with using the uuencode command and sending out an email.

My aim is to send an email out which has a body and also have attachments. Currently I can either get one or the other and not both on the same email.


uuencode /apps/Backup_Verification/DB_Structure_Files_AB/main.txt Main_prorest.txt > /apps/Backup_Verification/tmp/out.mail
uuencode /apps/Backup_Verification/DB_Structure_Files_BB/main.st Main_structure.txt >> /apps/Backup_Verification/tmp/out.mail

cat /apps/Backup_Verification/email-body.txt >> /apps/Backup_Verification/tmp/out.mail

/usr/local/bds/mailsend.s mailx "Backup Verification" <email address> <email address> /apps/Backup_Verification/tmp/out.mail


This just ignores the body and creates an email with the 2 attachments

Any help will be much appreciated as Ive been stuck on this for ages Smilie

NAME
hmine - a mail message header analyzer. SYNOPSIS
hmine [-vDa] [FILE] hmine -V DESCRIPTION
hmine reads a mail message from FILE or STDIN and outputs a variety of information found in the message headers. The message is expected in Internet mail format (RFC 821,822,2821,2822 or variations thereof). The body is not inspected. EXIT STATUS
On success, hmine returns 1. In case of a problem, hmine returns zero. OPTIONS
-a Print mailboxes and groups found in various header fields, one per line, preceded by the field name. Actual email addresses are always enclosed in '<' and '>' for easy parsing, ie anything not within these delimiters is not part of an email address. Beware that not every line need contain an email address. -D Debug output. -V Print the program version number and exit. USAGE
An invocation looks like this: % hmine email.txt SOURCE
The source code for the latest version of this program is available at the following locations: http://www.lbreyer.com/gpl.html http://dbacl.sourceforge.net BUGS
At present, hmine parses messages but doesn't output anything useful. AUTHOR
