What is the correct syntax with Mime types and Sendmail
The format of a text file needs to be protected. I also need to send the file plain text. When I send it as an attachement with uuencode it protects the format. However we need to be a text message within the body of the email?

I read on the sendmail website that Mime types may protect this file but I could not figure it out.

I am not clear what you are asking for but I guess you are asking how to write message in the body of the mail.check this

I have read that, I guess what I am asking is I have a formatted email with columns. When I attach it as an attachment with uuencode, and open with say wordpad, the columns are lined up and intact.

However, I need this message to not be an attachment, I need them to be able to open there email and see this message as a formatted body where the columns line up?
Do you know how I can accomplish this?
