I think you need to use "mailx" not "mail". Plus you need to convert the text file to MSDOS format before encoding with uuencode, then invoke mailx with the "-m" switch to turn off MIME headers.

Try this:

Code:
uxtodos /var/tmp/chandra/emaillist.txt| uuencode emaillist.txt | mailx -m -s "message with encoded attachment" xyz@hostname.com

Try this:

Quote:
uuencode "/var/tmp/chandra/emaillist.txt" "emaillist.txt" | mailx -s "emaillist.txt" arun@host.com
Worked fine for me... The only difference is that I used mailx
