Is there an alternattive to send email with an attachment ?

[Thanh Ma]

I am running sendmail version 8.8.6 on HP-UX 10.20. I was able to send email with an attachment by using uuncode. The problem is that if the reciever using MS outlook, it is fine, but if they are using other mail services such as hot.mail. They had problem open the attachment.

Any other utility to use beside uudecode/uuencode ?

Yes, I prefer to use the MIME option .. take a look at this thread:

I have even had some good success scripting jobs to run and email various reports that others open using MSWord using this method.

I'm going to do some more checking..
I sent test files to my HOTMAIL account and noticed when I sent compressed files it didn't open them right, even though it did recognize to open as MSWord....
Now when I send the same files to my Groupwise account it opens perfectly.

I'll let you know,

I installed mpack version 1.5 on my box and tried it. It seems to work quite well.

Anyway, thanks for your prompt suggestions, I found the solution I need.

Thanks again for your helps.

Hi,

I believe that elm is available for HPUX.
See download.hp.com
