he following command will send the file hosts.sh which is actually /etc/hosts
on this server as an attachment via sendmail:

uuencode /etc/hosts hosts.sh | sendmail root@abc.atl.hp.com

Additional information:

1. If the encoded file is a .txt file it will not be displayed as an attachment
when using Netscape mail. It will appear as part of the original document.

2. The received file will not be formatted correctly when read with Notepad;
but is correctly formatted when read with Word.

3. The file can be read with Notepad if you use the ux2dos command
first.
Example:

ux2dos /etc/hosts > /tmp/hosts
uuencode /tmp/hosts hosts.txt | sendmail -v
root@abc.atl.hp.com

rm /tmp/hosts # deletes the extra file that was generated.

If this method is used, there will be no TO or SUBJECT lines in the header
when read from Netscape mail.


Another method that will cause the SUBJECT and the TO and FROM addresses to
appear in the e-mail is:

(
echo "From: SENDER_NAME
echo "To: RECIPIENT_NAME "
echo "Subject: THE_SUBJECT"
# Text can be inserted here using echo command(s)
uuencode /etc/hosts hosts.sh
) | sendmail user@abc.com

Sender will have to supply the SENDER_NAME, RECIPIENT_NAME, and THE_SUBJECT

You can use mpack, a very good tool :
