SCEWED CONTENT OF MAILX

[dsm325]

I am using uuencode and mailx to send an attached file, however the content of the file after I receive it is all messed up. Is there a way to include the transfer type: ie. binary or something like that. Thanks much

what command are you using to send the file?
are you sending it to an external address?
an address on the same machine?
an address not on the same machine but in your organization? Mike

Thanks Mike
Am sending to an internal user on Xchnge 2000
using uuencode and mailx. they receive the files however the format is all bad.

uuencode file_name File_name |mail x -s "test files" mail_Id

your command line looks ok to me,

have you tried sending it to another unix user on the same machine? just to rule out silly things first Mike

if i ever need to send attachments, i cheat and use something like mpack:

or a few other sites ...
