Question uuencode for attachment giving problem

Hi All,

I am using unix's sendmail utility to send mails with attacments. I am using the uuencode command for attachments (zip).

When i send the mails to some account which is configured in the MS outook it opens/unzip the attachments with no problem.

But the same attachments seems to be getting corrupt while downloading from some other mails like the yahoo or hotnmail.

This problem is driving me crazy for a long time. Can anyone letme know the reason behind this issue.

I am using sun solaris 8

Regards
Manoj
