[opensuse] sending ASCII file with mail command (Fedora : OK ; OpenSuse : problem)
Hi all, I try to send an E-mail with the content of an ASCII file as the body. I do this with the following command mail -s subj joukj@hrem.nano.tudelft.nl < licinfo.txt When I give the command on a Fedora (several versions tested) the E-mail is recieved with the expected text in the body. If I give the command on an OpenSuse 10.2 system An E-mail which is unreadable is recieved at the other end. How can I get the same behaviour on the OpenSuse system as on the Fedora system?

Which is the same as mail -s 'some subject' user@address < file just done overly complex by invoking an extra program named 'cat'...
