Email Attachments

[Guest_imported]

I need to send email with an attachment from UNIX to a Lotus Notes recipient.<br>When I use the following command,<br> <br>cat /home/x10/lockbad.dat ¦ mailx -s "Test 6" <A HREF="mailto:ErnieX@isp.com">ErnieX@isp.com</A><br><br>the file lockbad.dat shows as part of the body of the email <br>rather than as an attachement<br><br>Any suggestions?<br><br>Thank you!

ErnieTT,<br><br>Try this:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT FACE=monospace>cat /home/x10/lockbad.dat ¦ uuencode ¦ mailx -s &quot;Test 6&quot; <A HREF="mailto:ErnieX@isp.com">ErnieX@isp.com</A></font><br><br>Annihilannic.

Annihilannic is right, however don't forget to put the name of your output file after uuencode. The output file name is what the recipient will see as the attachment
