Code Send mail using html tag pre
Need assistance. Trying to send a test.csv file using html tag <PRE> </PRE>. Used to work without any issue . But now gets me and stdin issue. Please give me any suggestions

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

export MAILTO=" <userid>@a.com" 

export SUBJECT="Test mail "
(
 echo "Subject: $SUBJECT"
 echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
 echo "Content-Type: text/html"
 echo "Content-Disposition: inline"
 echo "<HTML><BODY><PRE>"
 cat test.csv 
 echo "</PRE></BODY></HTML>"
) | /usr/sbin/sendmail $MAILTO

Code:
stdin: Value too large for defined data type

That is a very weird error for sendmail to give you.

What is test.csv ? How big is it?

Try putting a blank line between the header and the content. The lack of one may be confusing sendmail.

I searched this error on internet and found several discussions but not an apt solution.

So I would suggest giving a try with mailx
Code:
export MAILTO="user@domain.com"

export SUBJECT="Test Mail"
{
        echo "<HTML><BODY><PRE>"
        cat test.csv
        echo "</PRE></BODY></HTML>"
} | mailx -s "$SUBJECT
Content-Type: text/html" $MAILTO

Also you might have to check with your system admin if something changed recently on this machine.
