Mailx with attachment

[modfather]

Can someone help me? We're using HP-UX 11 and I'm trying to send an email, and attach an ascii file. I want this to be an attachment, not inline text. Is this possible?

Right now, I'm using:

mailx -s MySubject -r myreal@email.com MyRecipient@aol.com < /tmp/filenametoattach

The problem is, this file is included as in-line text. I was hoping to make it an attachment. Is that possible?

Many thanks!

I use the following (code fragment) to throw a file out as an attachment as far as outlook is concerned...

.
.
uuencode /tmp/$NEWTITLE.zip.$PNO $NEWTITLE.zip >> /tmp/zenmail.$PNO
.
.
.
cat /tmp/zenmail.$PNO | mailx -m -s &quot;$SUBJECT&quot; $RECIPIENT
.
.

Basically, if you uuencode the 'attachment' then outlook sees it as an attachment. Code fragment above is from a printer interface file - the site I'm working at needs to email reports vi athe lp command.

Thanks! Worked! The only minor problem I have is that Outlook decodes it perfectly, but if I send it to my yahoo.com account, it doesn't. Any idea why?

Thanks again!
