How to send a PDF attachment via MAILX?

Hi,

We are using HPUX and have a script to send PDF attachment via MAILX
Basically the script does the following:

Code:
echo > $HOME/MY_mail_file
uuencode o40881754.pdf o40881754.pdf  >> MY_mail_file
cat MY_mail_file | mailx -m -s "Sending PDF attachment"  <email address>

This script works fine when sensing the attachment to MS Outlook or Gmail,
but it does not work when using Yahoo mail, we see the PDF attachment but when we try to retrieve it, it fails indicating an invalid format. It appears that Yahoo mail does not know how to decode the attachment done via uuencode.
.
I've been reading different notes regarding this issue, one suggestion was to use "mutt" but unfortunate it does not seem available for HPUX.
.
I've also tried MIME/base64 code that I found on different forums but it did not work either.
.
Has anyone been able to send PDF attachment to Yahoo mail via a Unix command line (ex: Mailx, Sendmail etc..) ?
If so how was this achieved ?
.
Thanks in advance

GLFRAMEBUFFERRENDERB(3G)					  [FIXME: manual]					  GLFRAMEBUFFERRENDERB(3G)

NAME
glFramebufferRenderbuffer - attach a renderbuffer as a logical buffer to the currently bound framebuffer object C SPECIFICATION
GLsync glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GLenum target, GLenum attachment, GLenum renderbuffertarget, GLuint renderbuffer); PARAMETERS
target Specifies the framebuffer target. target must be GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER, or GL_FRAMEBUFFER. GL_FRAMEBUFFER is equivalent to GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER. attachment Specifies the attachment point of the framebuffer. renderbuffertarget Specifies the renderbuffer target and must be GL_RENDERBUFFER. renderbuffer Specifies the name of an existing renderbuffer object of type renderbuffertarget to attach. DESCRIPTION
glFramebufferRenderbuffer attaches a renderbuffer as one of the logical buffers of the currently bound framebuffer object. renderbuffer is the name of the renderbuffer object to attach and must be either zero, or the name of an existing renderbuffer object of type renderbuffertarget. If renderbuffer is not zero and if glFramebufferRenderbuffer is successful, then the renderbuffer name renderbuffer will be used as the logical buffer identified by attachment of the framebuffer currently bound to target. The value of GL_FRAMEBUFFER_ATTACHMENT_OBJECT_TYPE for the specified attachment point is set to GL_RENDERBUFFER and the value of GL_FRAMEBUFFER_ATTACHMENT_OBJECT_NAME is set to renderbuffer. All other state values of the attachment point specified by attachment are set to their default values. No change is made to the state of the renderbuuffer object and any previous attachment to the attachment logical buffer of the framebuffer target is broken. Calling glFramebufferRenderbuffer with the renderbuffer name zero will detach the image, if any, identified by attachment, in the framebuffer currently bound to target. All state values of the attachment point specified by attachment in the object bound to target are set to their default values. Setting attachment to the value GL_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT is a special case causing both the depth and stencil attachments of the framebuffer object to be set to renderbuffer, which should have the base internal format GL_DEPTH_STENCIL. ERRORS
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if target is not one of the accepted tokens. GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if renderbuffertarget is not GL_RENDERBUFFER. GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if zero is bound to target. SEE ALSO
