RE: mailx / sendmail command

Oops... take out the "<" syntax... use that only if you want to put your
message body there...

It should be:
(cat message.txt ; uuencode ${TMP}/attachment attach.txt ) | mailx -m -s
"Subject of message" ${email_addresses}

Yep... we do it all the time... it's a pain in the @!@#$%^!!^^!@#$

However, that's the deliver option the customer wants.

You have several options. It depends on whether you want to include a
message in the body as well.

(cat message.txt ; uuencode ${TMP}/attachment attach.txt ) | mailx -m -s
"Subject of message" < ${email_addresses}

Conditionals: You must use proper email addresses for which you have host
resolution (or DNS enabled), the message.txt and the ${TMP}/attachment must
go through the UNIX to DOS conversion, and the whole thing should be tested
at the recipients side.

I like uuencode. However, I'm a dinosaur. Oh, and I LOVE HP-UX!

You must have a mail client at the other end with the proper configuration
to translate uuencode. Microsoft Outlook automatic defaults work well here
if you echange, pop or ldap. However, if the destination is a web mail
client, you'll get gobblety gook.

Subject: mailx / sendmail command

Can anyone provide the command how to send a text file as a attachment with
a
proper subject using mailx or sendmail command in UNIX.

Note: I am using HP-UX OS. The file send should be the attachment, not in
the
message body. In addition, I need to put in the mail subject as well.
