    I use the following approach to send emails with some text in the body and attachements:
     
    1) Encode the attachement Anhangdatei: uuencode test.txt test.txt > test.uu
    (you have to repeat test.txt 2 times)
    2) Combine Attachement plus Bodaytest: cat test.body test.uu > test.out
    3) Send Mail: mail -s Subject to.user@company.com <mailto:Subjectthomas.rupp@illwerke.at> < test.out
     
    Hope this helps

            Betreff: sendmail attachments
            
            
            I've searched the archive and google but can someone help me with this.
            I send attachments from my aix servers to my groupwise email account through our SMTP gateway
            via the < command (ie. mail user@domain <attachement).
             
            With this method the attachment arrives as the message body rather than an attachment as desired.
             
            Is there another way to do this? Can I make a configuration change in sendmail or is this
            a function of my gateway and uuencoded vs MIME attachments?
