sed or awk removes attachment in email
Hi

We have a requirement to send email using shell script.email should have html body and pdf attachment. We used uuencode for attaching files and sendmail option to acheive and it is working fine. However custoemr wants to make body of email slightly dynamic. E.g dear customer in html file should be Dear John .. html is currently static and we tried editing using sed , awk etc.

So when we edit the html file and replaced the string we are received body of email as expected but attachment is not there ,,when we just static html file it does work fine

Kindly suggest your inputs

NAME

       calibre-smtp - part of calibre

SYNOPSIS

       calibre-smtp  [options] [from to text]

DESCRIPTION

       Send  mail using the SMTP protocol. calibre-smtp has two modes of operation. In the compose mode you specify from to and text and these are
       used to build and send an email message. In the filter mode, calibre-smtp reads a complete email message from STDIN and sends it.

       text is the body of the email message.  If text is not specified, a complete email message is read from STDIN.  from is the  email  address
       of the sender and to is the email address of the recipient. When a complete email is read from STDIN, from and to are only used in the SMTP
       negotiation, the message headers are not modified.

       Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-smtp that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks.
