I am trying to attach a .xls file using uuencode in HP Unix
uuencode res1.xls res1.xls | mailx abc@xyz.com
But in the receiving end, I couldn't see the attachement, instead of it some encoded text is there in the body of mail
Can anybody suggest how to attach the files in HP Unix. I don't have MIME package installed, and we can't use.
Here is a part of my script. I use this script to send a .html file as an attachment.
DIR_FILES=/yourdir
EMAIL_TO=user@user.com
EMAIL_FROM=fromuser@user.com
ATTACHED_FILE=test.html
EMAIL_SUBJECT="The subject"
EMAIL_TEXT="Your text"
E_MESS=mail.tmp
echo "To: $EMAIL_TO" > $DIR_FILES/$E_MESS
echo "From: $EMAIL_FROM" >> $DIR_FILES/$E_MESS
echo "Subject: $EMAIL_SUBJECT" >> $DIR_FILES/$E_MESS
echo "" >> $DIR_FILES/$E_MESS
echo $EMAIL_TEXT >> $DIR_FILES/$E_MESS
uuencode $DIR_FILES/$ATTACHED_FILE $ATTACHED_FILE >> $DIR_FILES/$E_MESS
cat $DIR_FILES/$E_MESS | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t
try this
uuencode one.xls > mailattatch
uuencode two.xls >> mailattatch
cat mailattatch | mailx -s "Subject ...." xyz@mail.com
You can try with this script....this will show you how to enter subject ,body and attachment.
FILE_NAME="one.xls"
`cat > mail_filewatcher.log <<!

Have you tried the script above posted by me i have checked this on outlook as well lotus notes.And got the attachment and body as expected.
can you paste your code let us see and check with your code...
Hi
Please try this one . This works from sending mail from Solaris box to MS Outlook
uuencode file_to_be_snt_as_attachment file_name_you_want2b_seen_in_attachemnt | mailx -s "Hi" "xxx@yyy.com"
uuencode :- is the unix command to encode a file for sending as an attachment.
file_to_be_snt_as_attachment :- is the name of the file you want to attach
file_name_you_want2b_seen_in_attachemnt :- once you receive the mail you see this name in the attached file. (Note :- This could be the same as argument 1).
mailx -s :- -s is for the subject and then the mail id
Hope this helps. This works in solaris to MS Outlook and to Lotus notes.
i have renamed it to rg.xls
then used command....
uuencode rg.xls rg.xls
cat rg.xls | mailx -s "TEST" name@name.com
and i haven't recvd any attachment... instead i recvd just body of the file in message boc of my email....
please advice me
With the code you have posted i am also getting output in body of mail.Can you try this....
uuencode rg.xls rg.xls>t1.log
mailx -s "TEST" urmail@com <t1.log
no 
i could not found any result.............. i got an output in mailbox message box as below:
begin 640 rg.xls
086)C?'AY>@HQ,C-\86YD"G?_
`
end
the command I used was
uuencode rg.xls rg.xls
cat rg.xls | mailx -s "TEST" name@name.com
