To send an email with the body content extracted from a file
Hi,

I have been trying to shoot an email with the email body to be obtained from a file.

Can someone please help me with it..

I have been trying to use the MAILX commad for the same.

mailx -s "test email" -r sender@test.com < file.txt

but it sends the file as an attachment,while i need the contents of File.txt in the email Body.Appreciate any help...Thanks,

Question I have used a similar command
for quite a few applications/scripts:

where I previously set
subjmsg to text
and logf is the text of my program execution

Code:
mailx -s "$subjmsg" who@company.com <$logf

Where you say this appears as an attachment, can you send to another email address and check that account. Presumably with a different domain, you might use a different email program. (My thinking is that your email client on the receiving side is doing this.)

I think you maybe need to do uuencode, first gzip up the file

uuencode <filename> <filename> | mailx -s <something>
