emailing as body of email

hi all,
how do i email a file in the body of an email rather than as an attachment ??

have a ksh script which i need to read a file and email as part of the body rather than an attachment.

my code is :

uuencode file.log | mailx -s "test" [emailAddress]

but this sends file as an attachment.

thanks in advance.

You can use this as an example

mail -s "test" abc@letter.com < /home/user/mailfile

replace "uuencode" with "cat" in your command.
