Uuencode a html file with word wrap
Hi,

I have a file myfile.txt as seen below.

Code:
Name    Age    Days
---------  -------   --------
ABC           5         23
DEF          20       120

When i cat this file into a html file and send mail, I could see the file is opened as seen below.

Code:
Name    Age    Days ---------  -------   -------- ABC           5         23 DEF          20       120

The command I am using for mailx is as seen below

cat myfile.txt | mailx -s "$(echo "Subject\nContent-Type:text/html")" to@abc.com

Please help me to get the output as the initial file without any wordwrap.

If you want to send it as HTML file, you'll need to make it an HTML file, too. Why don't you send as plain ASCII?

Hi,

I am trying to send some report using html and I am opening the attachment inside the html file and sending it through mail.

I can see the html file is in correct format but when i get it over mail, the word wrap issue happens.

Thanks
Jay

Seen is my script
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

displayHeader()
{
echo "<html>"
echo "<table>"
echo "<tr> My Report Head </tr>"
echo "</table>"
echo "</html>"
}
displayHeader >> mailcontent.html

echo "<html>" >> mailcontent.html
echo "<textarea rows="200" cols="200" wrap="hard">" >> mailcontent.html
cat myfile.txt >> mailcontent.html
echo "</textarea>" >> mailcontent.html
echo "</html>"  >> mailcontent.html

cat myfile.txt | mailx -s "$(echo "Subject\nContent-Type:text/html")" to@abc.com < mailcontent.html

But the mail i receive do not have the proper format.

When piping into mailx on top of redirecting its stdin, I can't tell for sure which one takes precedence, although a quick test seems to indicate it's the redirection.
Why do you cat myfile.txt into mailx when it's included in mailcontent anyhow?
A quick test with your HTML file as generated shows that it should display properly. Is it possible the problem lies on the receiving side? What be your mail client?

uuencode and redirecting the file, both comes with the word wrap issue.
