I see. I firstly had problems using uuencode. ie uuencode -m myinputfile encodedfile didn't work! Stranglely. Any ideas why?
But actually all I want to do is email the Master.csv file periodically. As it is text I can make up the email headers, add in the Master.csv text, add a footer and then hey presto - I might actually get it to work! But problem is each line cannot be longer than 76 characters. So the MIME rfc says you need to put in a '=' as a soft break. Any ideas on how to put in a = and a carriage return after the 76th character in each line?
