Hi!

I have a problem with uuencode / mailx linux commands. When I run the
command line:

uuencode uuencode_test_file.txt uuencode_test_file.doc | mailx -s "TEST -
Report" address@hidden

The following attachment return this:

begin 640 uuencode_test_file.doc
3555%3D-/address@hidden&5S="!&:6QE"@``
`
end


This issue just happen on Outlook mail client.


Could you please help us in this case?

Hi,

In any event, "man uuencode" will tell you the correct usage.

On the theory that the .txt file is supposed to be one line containing:

    UUENCODE Test File

your invocation of uuencode will produce exactly the sequence of characters
that show up in the body of your email.  You have to save that email and
uudecode the result.
