I have written a script to send some .csv files to my client.The script work fines and they receive file correctly.But,The problem is the file name is changed to "attachment" from "123.csv" even after using uuencode.

Please someone help me ASAP.

My Script part looks just like this

Code:
uuencode 123.csv 123.csv | mailx -s "TEST FILE" 123@apple.com

yet we receive it as "Mail Attachment" in the Name part of attachments.
