Sendemail how to send an email with a subject variable

Hi,

I try this :

#!/bin/bash

sender="me@example.com"
recipient="you@example.com"
subject="TEST FILE"
server="0.0.0.0"

file=$(cat file.txt)

/usr/bin/sendemail -f $sender -t $recipient -u $subject -m $file

My file.txt:

BLABLALA

BLABLABLA

BLABLA

But when I receive the mail inside it's like below :

BLABLALABLABLABLABLABLA

How I can keep the line feed ? Thanks by advance
(Sorry the moderators for my last post I thought having the solution but no..That's why I redo almost the same post:o)

Hello Arnaudh78,

Could you please try following and let me know if this helps you.

cat script.ksh
####Define function here to send email.
sendmail_touser() {
export MAILPART=$(uuidgen)
export MAILPART_BODY=$(uuidgen)
{
        echo "From: $MAILFROM"
        echo "TO: $MAILTO"
        echo "Subject: $SUBJECT"
        echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
        echo "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$MAILPART\""
        echo "--$MAILPART"
        echo "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"$MAILPART_BODY\""
        echo ""
        echo "--$MAILPART_BODY"
        echo "Content-Type: text/html"
        echo "Content-Disposition: inline"
        cat $Input_file_to_be_printed_in_BODY
        echo "--$MAILPART_BODY--"
        echo ""
        echo "--$MAILPART"
} | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t
}
####Call function here to send email.
sendmail_touser

You could define values for variables into above script as per your requiremnts, please do let me know if this helps you.

Thanks,

Thank you for your reply, I try and I come back to you

Certainly your problem is caused by missing quotes.
All $variables should be in quotes, in case they contain special characters (like newlines).

sendemail -f "$sender" -t "$recipient" -u "$subject" -m "$file"

Hi, Thank you it works.. decidedly I have a problem with quotes
I found the proposition of RavinderSingh interesting I'll dig in that direction too.

Sure it's "sendemail"?

Yes, sure why?

Sorry, I mixed it up with sendmail . I wasn't aware of the perl tool sendEmail or similar.
