Another attachment query

[Graham_12]

Just read the recent attachment query and am sending attachments quite happily with the following syntax...

uuencode test.xml test.xml | sendmail user@mail.com

However, if I then want to include some headers or body text by redirecting some input to sendmail, the attachments are no longer sent, e.g.

uuencode test.xml test.xml | sendmail user@mail.com
Many TIA
Graham

May I suggest using the include option...see if it better suits your needs.

See this thread:

Rgrds,

You need to build up an input file first before piping into sendmail. If you use uuencode ... | sendmail
You need to do it like this;
1. create a file with headers and body text.
2. uuencode >>
3. cat | sendmail

Hi Graham,

You can always try something like:

(echo Subject: This is a test

echo hello ;uuencode /tmp/s.pl /tmp/s.pl) | sendmail robin.wakefield@ubsw.com

Many thanks, that works.

I had a feeling it was something to do with the redirects rather than sendmail itself.
