Sending csv file as an attachement from Linux
Hi i am trying to send a csv file as an attachment via mail from linux.
i am using the below script.
Code:
echo "X-Mailer: htmlmail" $VERSION
echo "Mime-Version: 1.0"
echo 'Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="-q1w2e3r4t5"'
echo '---q1w2e3r4t5'
echo "Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII"
echo '---q1w2e3r4t5'
                  echo 'Content-Type: TEXT/CSV; name='$files
                 echo 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'$(basename $files)'"'
                  cat $files
echo '---q1w2e3r4t5--'

csv file contains a row with 200 columns.when i try to open the excel after receiving in a mail the single row got splitted into multiple rows.
when i try to open the file in vim editor its showing as single line.
I am using GNU/LINUX.
Pls help me to sort this out.Thanks for your help
