RE: Send Mail in Unix

All,

I guess I made the mistake mentioning Excel.

I am creating a tab delimited text file with an .xls file type that Excel can easily open. It is not a binary Excel file.

I just need to be able to send the file as an attachement.

thanks again and sorry for the mis-statement!

There are a couple of ways to do it. You could uuencode it and then mail the encoded file. The file has to be decoded on the other end.

I send binaries off the server to users who wouldn't be familiar with decode software using a python program that builds a mime message with the file attached to the message. You can do the same with perl.
