[OT] mail

An OT question. Apologies in advance, but I'm hoping that someone else running Oracle/Unix has solved a similar problem.

I'm running various crons that checks logs (Oracle and application) and mails that to me. Works great.

However, mail reader (MS Outlook) is a problem. That is fixed. I can not change that. I need to have the logs send as attachments. Outlook's formatting of a plain text message sucks big time. With attachments, I can easily view them in Notepad or something else. (this cut and pasting of e-mail body to Notepad is driving me nutters - okay, more nutters than the usual nutter state I'm in)

Using sh script and Unix mail command (not Perl or anything else) to send the mail. How do you send attachments?

I've constructed a raw e-mail with correct headers, mime types and mime boundaries. However, Unix mail "interferes" with that and a single blank line causes my headers to become part of the message body.

Any ideas or solutions?
