uuencode not working for multiple files

zenith · 05-24-2009, 10:15 AM

Hi,

I have gone through the other related post but are of no help for me

I am sending multiple files as attachement.
The first file comes fine as an attachement but the other files are coming as binary.

For people with older version of email software they can see all attachements but the people with new version can see only the first attachement.
I have tried the following code but still the same problem.

Code:

Code:
mailx -s "test" ABC@XYZ.com << EOF
`/usr/bin/uuencode IJK.csv IJKM.csv`
`/usr/bin/uuencode IOU.csv IOLUA.csv`
EOF

Code:
(uuencode   IJK.csv IJKM.csv; uuencode -m IOU.csv IOLUA.csv) | mailx -s "test" ABC@XYZ.com

I want to fix the problem from unix side.
Appreciate help

Don't know what the problem here, but I use uuenview to send multiple attachments, using multiple -a options:

Code:

uuenview -m ABC@XYZ.com -s test -a IJK.csv -a IJKM.csv -a IOU.csv -a IOLUA.csv << EOF
Bye
EOF

uuenview usually pipes mail to sendmail. The uuenview command is available from the uudeview package, at least on Opensuse.
