We have been using the mailx command with uuencode to send
BaaN reports as attachements. This has been working well for LotusNotes, however when we tried this to one of our other overseas companies that use exchange, they got the e-mail but no attachment.

Anybody know if there is something different about exchange or needs to change in our instructiuons?

Below is our intructions for mailx and uuencode;

uuencode trucks.doc | mailx -m -s "TRUCKS_report" To.com > /dev/null

Thanks in Advance

Hi Ssbaan,

You should not have a problem in general to send emails using the command you gave. Some email systems do not like the UU encoding since it is not the same like Mime encoding which should be okay with all email systems.

You may want to look at using mime encoding. More about this subject has been discussed at this thread:

Good Luck.
