Hi,

I did an script to send e-mails with attachments from Unix to Microsoft Outlook using mailx and uuencode commands. It works well for plain text, but I'm having problems with *.gif, *.xls, *.bmp and *.wav files because they're base64 encoded. As a result, these files are sent but the computer (Windows XP) could not open them properly. Could someone please help me ?

you need mime header for base64.
you can help yourself by examining email you received cotaining inline *.gif, *.xls, *.bmp and *.wav
