I'm attaching a script that does it reliably with sendmail.

With this script its a single command line. Its production and it works.

I don't know that my answer is the *only* answer, but I suggest that you create a single file (containing the body and the uuencoded document), then pipe that into mail.

Hari,

Try saving the link and open it with wordpad. But mind, the script won't run on MS environment: its unix only.

Hari -
Your lack of consideration for your fellow forumers makes it difficult to justify answering you questions.
But we are all here to assis each other and perhaps others can be assisted by the answers provided.
There are a multitude of threads regarding this topic. (Using the search helps.)
I an attaching a text file with many ways of using mailx that are in place in our shop.

Best of luck.

You can also do it on one line like this:
(echo "Body of message here"; uuencode filename filename) | mailx -s "Subject matter" user@someplace.org

The parenthesis around the commands ends up sending the combinded output to the pipe. And as Dave points out there are a bunch of other ways by using the search.

This is a good utility:

http://hpux.ee.ualberta.ca/hppd/hpux/Users/mpack-1.5/

mpack/munpack version 1.5 for unix

Mpack and munpack are utilities for encoding and decoding
(respectively) binary files in MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail
Extensions) format mail messages. For compatibility with older forms
of transferring binary files, the munpack program can also decode
messages in split-uuencoded format. The Macintosh version can also
decode messages in split-BinHex format.

Versions are included for unix, pc, os2, mac, amiga and archimedes
systems. The canonical FTP site for this software is
ftp.andrew.cmu.edu:pub/mpack/
