Problem with mailx command when sending attachment.

Hi,
I have tried to sent a mail with body and attachment. But the shell script got hanging while executing that command. The command is
"(cat body;uuencode att1.csv)|mailx -s "Production Monitoring Report(Unix Side)" milton.yesusundaram@patni.com"

where body is a file having a single line.
att1.csv is a comma separating values file.

Can anyone please help on getting the reason for hanging of the script.

Thanks in advance,
Milton.

TRANSPORT ARGUMENTS
Depending on the value used for argument transport, the following arguments can be added: Transport sendmail --sendmail-path path sets the path to the sendmail command (defaults to /usr/sbin/sendmail). Transport SMTP --smtp-host host sets the SMTP hostname (defaults to smtp). --smtp-port port sets the port to use (default value is 25). ARGUMENTS IN A XML FILE
