Send attachment by unix e-mail, then dumbed into database.

[David Johnson_6]

Hello everyone,
I am trying to send an attachment from Unix to windows using mailx.
The windows based system will the try to import this into a database.
The problem is the file looks fine before e-mail, but tries to load into
database as one long line or field.

The attachment/file is a '|" delemited file or stand informix unload.
this is the command I used to e-mail attachments.
( uuencode file1.txt file1.txt;uuencode file2.txt file2.txt) | mailx -m -s ""Subject" e-mail@address.com

Try running it through ux2dos first to add CRs in your text file.

cat file1.txt | uuencode file1.txt etc...
