I have a unix script that compresses a .txt file using gzip command and then sends it by mail using uuencode.
This has been working fine for some time, but lately I've been experiencing some problems, as when I open the mail generated, I don't see the attachment, but instead I get a large amount of characters such as "begin 644 test.dat.gz
M'XL(".XO%T0 V-I<V9I0C$W,#%S+F1A= #LG<MZVSB6Q_?]%%A6?9VH<"7!
M)431,MT4J2(E5<4[5^+N]GR)79/+8MZAGVC>:!:SFA>8<P!2HBU1@M*JBASC
M+!R&^HL"0! _'EP.+B?9.%]49)+760K_9B5)EUFY,&1LRM34N2%/K;Y]^_#Q" parsed in the body of the mail.
Any ideas?
