thx reply,

My problem is simple , the problem is sometimes I found two mail will be mix-up together , so that the user will receive a mail , its mail subject is correct but mail content is another mail . thx

the correct mail is

mail 1
subject : aaaa
content : bbbb

mail 2
subject : cccc
content : dddd

but the user will receive the mail 1 :
subject : aaaa
content : dddd

Hangyu2,

i have never seen such a situation as you described.
Could you please try this explanation as below;

1. Mail No attachment, body only -

mailx -m -s "Some Subject" somone@somewhere.com < file_for_email_body

2. Mail with attachement, no body -

ux2dos /path_to/some_file | uuencode some_file.txt | mailx -m -s "MAIL FROM Someone" someone@somewhere.com

3. Mail with attachment and body -

ux2dos /path_to/some_file | uuencode some_file.txt | mailx -m -s "MAIL FROM Someone" someone@somewhere.com < file_for_email_body

4. Mail with carbon and blind carbon -

mailx -m -s "Some Subject" somone@somewhere.com < file_for_email_body

(Note that this does not work with the -r option as it disables ~ commands.)
(The file_for_email_body should look like this - )
~c someone_to_cc@somewhere.com
~b someone_to_bc@somewhere.com
The remainder of this file can be the text body of the email.

5. Mail with multiple attachments and body (Leave out the 'This is all you get' if body not desired) -

mailx -m -s "Hello" someone@somewhere.com << END
`ux2dos /home/dlamar/.kshrc | uuencode /home/dlamar/.kshrc.txt`
`ux2dos /home/dlamar/.profile | uuencode /home/dlamar/.profile.txt`

This is all you get.
END
