Hey There,
You may just need to remove one argument from your uuencode line so
becomes
you can also user tar and gzip (if you have the Gnu version of tar, use the -z flag) to shorten it up a bit:
Hope I'm not completely off the mark here.

Oh, yes,
Also, the
Begin 664
line is normal output from uuencode, so if you're just piping the output to a mail program instead of the terminal, this makes sense, too, and shouldn't be an exception. That's interesting.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike
I tried the below but it seems to just hang etc.
Also i cant use your other suggestion as it slightly alters the columns in the data thats why ive not used gzip. Its very strange though, as i only get this message now and then but because im testing this in development i want to make sure i never get this message when emailing out and only the tar file sent etc.
Very confused buddy...

As well you should be 
Just kidding. My original line was flawed because I assumed standard input for uuencode
which would work for
or
only works if STDIN is being piped to uuencode (thinking ahead to my next solution before I typed). Otherwise your way:
is correct.
Sorry about that
BTW, since you only get the strange output once in a while, can you do a run of this with the "set -o xtrace" line uncommented.
ANother thing I notice now, is your
line. You should be able to remove that because your script shouldn't move passed the "compress" until it's done with that command.
Sorry 'bout that!

Mike

Hey There,
This isn't exactly what you're doing - I cut corners on the file (so it wouldn't take up too much space) and gzipped instead of compressed, but this is basically what you're piping to mailx. It may be that the characters in the attachment are causing you issues, since it's sent as plaintext
Unfortunately, if that's the case, you're stuck because uuencode will always come out that way.
Check this program (mpack) out, which sends the mails as actual attachments (or at least is more standardized) and see if that fixes the issue. Otherwise, what happens to you sometimes, should actually be happening all the time, which is another mystery in and of itself. Do you have an example of when you don't get an email with the uuencode BEGIN line followed by the contents? It may have to do with the mail reader you're using as well.

Hi Mike
Im going to try this for a week and see if it resolves the issue, using tar and gzip only.
