Why no attachment seen???

Hi there

This is my piece of code :

Code:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
 set -x

FILE_NAME="test.xls"
(
echo "From:Amruta Pitkar"
echo "To:amrutapitkar@yahoo.com"
echo "Subject:Ebill Department Trial"
echo "Cc:uma_cancer@hotmail.com"
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
echo 'Content-Type:multipart/mixed; boundary="-"'
echo "-----"
echo "Content-Type:text/html"
echo "Content-Disposition:inline"
)>AHTMLFILE

(
echo "----"
echo "Content-Type:application/octet-stream;name=$FILE_NAME"
echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding:x-uuencode"
echo "Content-Disposition:inline;filename=$FILE_NAME"
echo "-----"
)>AXLSFILE

uuencode test.xls MyAttach > MyAttach
cat AHTMLFILE e28931.htm AXLSFILE MyAttach | sendmail apkar@yahoo.com
echo "Done mail sent"

When I view the sent email on yahoo account I can see the Attachment Symbol on the Subject line...but there is no attachment and Msg Body in the actual email whne opened....
Can somebody tell me why ????
Also the attachment can be any file type...eg .rtf, .pdf, .doc, .xls etc

PLEASE....

Your MIME boundaries are incorrect.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

FILE_NAME="test.xls"
(
echo "From:Amruta Pitkar"
echo "To:to@emailaddr.com"
echo "Subject:Ebill Department Trial"
echo "Cc:cc@emailaddr.com"
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
echo 'Content-Type:multipart/mixed; boundary="A_MIME_BOUNDARY"'
echo "--A_MIME_BOUNDARY"
echo "Content-Type:text/html"
echo "Content-Disposition:inline"
)>AHTMLFILE

(
echo "--A_MIME_BOUNDARY"
echo "Content-Type:application/octet-stream;name=$FILE_NAME"
echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding:x-uuencode"
echo "Content-Disposition:inline;filename=$FILE_NAME"
echo "--A_MIME_BOUNDARY"
)>AXLSFILE

uuencode test.xls MyAttach > MyAttach
cat AHTMLFILE e28931.htm AXLSFILE MyAttach ### NOTE: You should also include a final MIME boundary here as well ###  | sendmail to@emailaddr.com
echo "Done mail sent"
