Did you try along with $ ? I used $ to indicate terminal, for subject field if you put double quotes its well and good.

Can you please show the example by modifying my code.

On terminal

cat >msg<<EOF
your msg
EOF

(cat msg; uuencode  path/to/your/attachement/file) | mailx -s "Your Subject" abc@xyz.com

OR

cat <<EOF | ( cat -; uuencode  path/to/your/attachement/file) | mailx -s "Your Subject" abc@xyz.com
your msg
EOF
