It Doesnt attach the txt file while embedding the mail body.
Madhan,

I tried this already..

uuencode abc.txt abc.txt | mailx -s "Attaching test" user@domain.com < your_file_containing_message

This is sending out a mail with the body of the "your_file_containing_message"
file.Doesnt attach the txt file.

I am very sure the above command would work as requested.

Could you please post the exact command what you had tried?

That would be helpful to find out the problem.

uuencode datetime.txt datetime.txt | mailx -s "Attaching test" charan.p@igate.com < mail.txt

I am receiving the mail with the body of the "mail.txt" file.
I dont receive the attachment.
