Question about perderabo's MIMETOOL script
Perderabo,
I copied the mimetool script and am running it on an HP-UX release 11i, and in most cases it works like a charm. But I ran into the following issue;
I extracted data from an Oracle database and formatted the results as a *.csv file so that the user can view it as an excel spreadsheet. It is a relatively large file, ~12000 records. After sending it via mimetool, the file has a control character embedded roughly every 687 records. The character will appear somewhere in the data, not nescessarily at the end of the record. The character looks like the trademark charcter (™)when viewed in excel. If I ftp the file to my pc rather than emailing it, there is no issue.
If you have any ideas on this, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Carl.
