Some mail readers don't understand uuencoding. You'd be better off base64 encoding the PDF, then building a MIME-encoded email, and sending it via sendmail.

One of which is to email the file as a PDF. So, one of our users was on AOL and then switched to Cox. They read their email via the cox webmail site on a browser. The problem is that the attachment is coming over as part of the message now and not as an attachment. However, if they use outlook as the email client, then the file is presented as an attachment. So, webmail client is doing something different than outlook. If I send an attachment to the person using outlook on my PC, then the attachment comes thru as an attachment on the webmail client. So, I think the problem is the way I am sending the email / attachment. I am using the following; uuencode MYFILE.PDF MYFILE.PDF | mail -s MYFILE.PDF -n [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is being done on a Linux machine and we are shelling out of Universe to issue the command. Any suggestions on how to make it better ?
