(About the author)
 
     Dear readers, My apologies for submitting this script in the PERL section, but there is no Korn Shell scripting categoriry on this site, and PERL is a popular scripting language. This script sends email with attachments from UNIX using UUENCODE method of attaching files. This script can send more than one attachment. NOTE: A UUENCODE-capable reader like MS-Outlook is required to read emails from this script. Many email clients can interpret UUENCODED emails.
