Well I fixed it by piping the file yum.update through sed to remove the \r characters from the file before sending the mail.
So Line 16 of /usr/sausalito/handlers/base/swupdate/yum-update.sh Now reads: /bin/cat /tmp/yum.update | /bin/sed 's/\r//' | /bin/mail -s "`/bin/hostname` Yum Update output for `/bin/date +\%m`-`/bin/date +\%d`-`/bin/date +\%y`" $EMAILRECIPIENT However, I assume that this change will be written over the next time the team decide to update yum-update.sh ? If so is there a way for me to make it permanent or can the team add it as a fix?

Thus iPhones/iPads refuse to read it. I notice in the headers of the email message that mail has decided the message is: Content-Type: application/octet-stream So I either want to have this attachment come through as a .txt attachment or better still have the text of /tmp/yum.update added as plain text in-line and not as an attachment, as it was previously. I note that the file to edit is almost certainly going to be: /usr/sausalito/handlers/base/swupdate/yum-update.sh Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
