As usual, it always helps to know what Operating System you are using today.

Here is a broad solution for most modern unixes: Adjust for your local syntax.

Code:
(cat mailbody.txt ; ux2dos xyz.csv | uuencode xyz.csv ) | mailx -m -s "Subject" "abc@yahoo.com"

No ux2dos on my system

The parentheses allow us to execute a sequence of unix commands separated by ";" , then present the whole output to "mailx".
The position of the parentheses is critical.
Also you have the word "uuencode" in the line twice.

The equivalent of "ux2dos" appears to be "unix2dos" on Solaris.
You've removed the "-m" switch from the "mailx". I assume that it is not valid on your Solaris. I'd like to check but the website docs.sun.com has collapsed in a heap today.

Code:
(cat mailbody.txt ; unix2dos 12-MAY-10.csv | uuencode 12-MAY-10.csv) | mailx -s "Explained" "ultimatix@hotmail.com"
