This may be a little late, but why don't you simply use one of the
many Perl modules that deal with MIME and know how to do it right,
for example, MIME::Lite? Go to
RE: Attachments via /usr/bin/sendmail
Hmmm...I thought I had it, but not quite. For some
reason, my Perl script is outputting to the screen,
not my mailwrapper. Are there any limitations on what
you can send to the mailwrapper? My program is below:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$fileout = system("/bin/cat
/home/www/schnarff/images/chili.jpg |
/usr/bin/uuencode /home/www/schnarff/chili.jpg");
$bound = "---bound";
open (MAIL, "|/usr/bin/sendmail -t");
print MAIL "To: alexlefevre\@yahoo.com\n";
print MAIL "Mime-Version: 1.0\n";
print MAIL "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary=\"$bound\"; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
print MAIL "$bound\n";
print MAIL "Content-Type: image/jpg;
name=\"chili.jpg\"\n";
print MAIL "Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=\"chili.jpg\"";
print MAIL "Content-Transfer-Encoding: uuencode";
print MAIL "$fileout";
close MAIL;

RE: Attachments via /usr/bin/sendmail
That made it come through as a bunch of gobbledygook to my mail...but that's OK, because I know what I have to write on my mailwrapper to get it to see that it's an attachment. I think that suggestion will do the trick. Thanks! Alex Le Fevre __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo! Mail. http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/
