Issues in sending mail with attachements
Hi

I am using the below command to send mail from unix with body as well as attachment.

But the attachment is in encoded form in the body itself.

I am not receiving as attachment:
Code:
(cat body_success.txt;uuencode Log.txt Log.txt)| mailx -s "success" $ToID

I am receiving something liek below in the body itself:
Code:
 
finebegin 664 Log.txt
M<&%R86UE=&5R<R!A<F4@<V5T"DIO8G,@87)E(&EN(')U;FYA8FQE('-T871E

end

Please help me in this.

I am using SunOS4

Thanks

Save the mail in a file like mycoded.mail..., and use uudecode:
Code:
uudecode mycoded.mail

Do you have mailx on your system? ( SunOS 4 is too old for me to remember...)
If so or try to adapt:
Code:
 \cat File | \ux2dos | \mailx -s "ljkdfj" foo.me@foo.foo.com

Addendum:
I have a .mailrc in my home directory, content:
Code:
#.mailrc - To sent  to exchange server....
# for use with mailx from HP-UX...
set crt=21
set encoding=8bit
set charset=iso-8859-1
# set mimeheader=yes
