Ok, here is my annual pitch for a cool product (that I use everywhere, so I want the developer to stay in business!).
Yes, I know you can roll-your-own for sending emails, but there is a great little command line email tool called postie (http://infradig.com/) that does it all for you, and costs only 75 us$. It handles attachments, cc's, bcc's etc. It can send & get both pop and imap email, and can manage messages in imap folders too. /Scott Ballinger Pareto Corporation Edmonds WA USA 206 713 6006 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Angelo Collazo Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2006 9:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [U2] OT: Email Attachment Universe Linux Anthony, If you look at the properties of your outlook email (the one that worked properly), you will see this text "MIME-Version: 1.0" Content-Type: multipart/mixed...... "This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ". You need to echo this text, see below: The key is "multipart/" Hope this helps, Cheers, Angelo ************************************************************************ *** CMD = '' CMD<-1> = 't="':EMAIL:'"' CMD<-1> = 'f="xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com"' CMD<-1> = 'F="The IBM"' CMD<-1> = 'a="/tmp/':TNAME:'"' CMD<-1> = 'A="':TNAME:'.txt"' CMD<-1> = 's="Emailing: ${A}"' CMD<-1> = 'p=`perl -e ':SQ:'printf "_NextPart_%03D_%04D_%08X.%08X",' CMD<-1> = ' rand(1000), rand(10000),time(),time()+10000':SQ:'`' CMD<-1> = '(' CMD<-1> = 'echo "Return-path: <${f}>"' CMD<-1> = 'echo "From: \"${F}\" <${f}>"' ************************************************************************ *** CMD<-1> = 'echo "To: \"${t}\""'____________________________________________ CMD<-1> = 'echo "Subject: ${s}"' CMD<-1> = 'echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"' CMD<-1> = 'echo "Content-Type: multipart/mixed':SEMI:'\n\tboundary=\"----=$ CMD<-1> = 'echo "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n------=${p}" CMD<-1> = 'echo "Content-Type: text/plain':SEMI:'\n\tcharset=\"iso-8859-1\" CMD<-1> = 'echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n"' *!*CMD<-1> = 'if [ ! -z "${b}" ]' *!*CMD<-1> = 'then' *!*CMD<-1> = ' cat "${b}"' *!*CMD<-1> = 'fi' CMD<-1> = 'if [ ! -z "${a}" ]' CMD<-1> = 'then' CMD<-1> = ' echo "------=${p}"' CMD<-1> = ' echo "Content-Type: octet-stream':SEMI:'\n\tname=\"${A}.gz\""' CMD<-1> = ' echo "Content-Disposition: attachment':SEMI:'\n\tfilename=\"${ CMD<-1> = ' echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n"' CMD<-1> = ' cat "${a}" | /tcpprint/crnl | gzip |' CMD<-1> = ' perl -MMIME::Base64 -0777 -ne ':SQ:'print encode_base64($_)' CMD<-1> = 'fi' CMD<-1> = 'echo "------=${p}--"' CMD<-1> = ') | /usr/sbin/sendmail ':SENDMAIL.OPTS:' "${t}"' ************************************************************************ *** -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Anthony Dzikiewicz Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2006 10:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] OT: Email Attachment Universe Linux Hey guys, We have a program that distributes information via various methods. 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 ?
