Attaching files in Mail with HP Unix
I am trying to attach a .xls file using uuencode in HP Unix
uuencode res1.xls res1.xls | mailx abc@xyz.com

But in the receiving end, I couldn't see the attachement, instead of it some encoded text is there in the body of mail

Can anybody suggest how to attach the files in HP Unix. I don't have MIME package installed, and we can't use.

Here is a part of my script. I use this script to send a .html file as an attachment.

Code:
DIR_FILES=/yourdir
EMAIL_TO=user@user.com
EMAIL_FROM=fromuser@user.com
ATTACHED_FILE=test.html
EMAIL_SUBJECT="The subject"
EMAIL_TEXT="Your text"
E_MESS=mail.tmp


echo "To:      $EMAIL_TO" > $DIR_FILES/$E_MESS
echo "From:    $EMAIL_FROM" >> $DIR_FILES/$E_MESS
echo "Subject: $EMAIL_SUBJECT" >> $DIR_FILES/$E_MESS
echo "" >> $DIR_FILES/$E_MESS
echo $EMAIL_TEXT >> $DIR_FILES/$E_MESS

uuencode $DIR_FILES/$ATTACHED_FILE $ATTACHED_FILE >> $DIR_FILES/$E_MESS
cat $DIR_FILES/$E_MESS | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t
