Sending attachments using email through shell script

Hi,

I used the ux2dos command to convert the file to dos mode. But strangely still the problem persists. I mean when I saved the attachment from my GMAIL and open it, still the whole data is coming in a single line.

Where as I if i run UNIX2DOS (on my windows as mentioned in my previous thread) after extracting the attachment from my GMAIL, then i am getting the data in correct format.

I am really confused why it is not working when i do the same from my UNIX. Following is the way i am running my commands:
**********************************************************
$ /usr/bin/ux2dos TEST_Alert_File_01232006.txt > xyz.txt
$
$ sh send_mail -t vamsibehara@gmail.com -s "ALRT FILES" -a xyz.txt
Enter body of main message ( end with Ctrl-D ) ...
PLS FIND ATTCHED
VAMSI
Ctrl-D
$
**********************************************************
Kindly note that the problem is coming only if i am copying the attachment to my local folder from the mail and open it. If i am directly opening the file or use the 'VIEW' option of the mail, then i am not getting this problem.

Any thoughts on why this is happening like this?

Thanks & Regards
Vamsi Sudhakar.

NAME
simplify - a script to simplify a MIME message SYNOPSIS
simplify [args ...] < message > othermessage DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the simplify command. simplify is a Perl script to simplify a MIME message. This script never loads the entire message into memory, but does dump it's entire contents to disk once. OPTIONS
mime=no Don't use MIME, no HTML mail allowed. testing=yes Run in testing mode (suppress randonmess) saveall=yes Save all attachments to files. temp=/path/to/working/dir/ Defaults to /tmp. url=http://box/path/ URL-prefix for printing paths to attachments header=text... Text preceding the attachment URL list. textsig=/path/to/file Text signature to append to text parts. htmlsig=/path/to/file HTML signature to append to HTML parts. If "saveall" is yes, then the script will save all attachments to disk so people can access their contents later. If an URL is specified then that automatically implies "saveall=yes". Without this, the default behavior is to only save text and html parts, and delete them and all working directories when the script is finished. SEE ALSO
