If you use mailx -s "test"
myself@somedomain.com < uuencodefile, what happens?
Please explain further on stating "mailx does not attach the file" versus "substituting mailx for mail...attaches the file"
To clarify:
I want to send email from UNIX with an attachment (a csv) and a subject, we are using HP-UX 11.11.
When I use the mailx command from my original post the file I am trying to attach does not appear as an attachment, it is embeddded within the message, and the subject is shown.
When I use mail the file does appear as an attachment in Outlook, but I can only get this to work when I don't specify a subject, as below:
mail me@mydomain < uuencoded file
If I specify a subject the error is returned:
mail: illegal option -- s
usage: mail [+] [-epqr] [-f file]
mail [-dt] persons
For the tests you suggested: Using the first command line I get the word test in the subject and the hosts file in the message area.
The second test has the same result as the first.
Cheers
Brett.

DESCRIPTION

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.
