Nagesh, The ^M is a carriage return it come from Windows. Windows uses a carriage return new line (CR/LF) for an end of line. On unix the end of line is a new line (LF). To get rid of the CR you can do a "dos2unix" on the attachment, if you want to use perl you can do a substitution on the carriage return (e.g., s/^M//g).
