Might be a problem with your outlook mail client.

EDIT: And, I'm pretty sure your echo command won't work. Try cat $file.

All echo will do is display the content of the variable, here : t.txt
as RudiC mentionned if you want the content of the t.txt then its cat you should use...

I'm not sure this will work for several reasons, not least:-
  • You have mis-matched quotes on the echo command.
  • The content of the here document (between <<eof and eof) is not executed.
You should get away with variables being interpreted, so perhaps this would work:-
Code:
file=t.txt
file_content=$(cat $file)

mail -s "INPUT DATA" "kali@gmail.com" <<eof
HI Team

Please find the below details

$file_content

Thanks
eof



Does that help? It's probably not the best way to do this but it might work.
