How to fix the issue where you send an e-mail from within Linux, it is delivered to Gmail with "noname" attachment and contains no text.
I want the message to be text, not an "noname" file.
I found solution here (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10343106/linux-mail-file-log-has-content-type-application-octet-stream-a-noname-attac).
turn:
cat somefile | mail -s "subject" [email protected]
into:
cat -v somefile | mail -s "subject" [email protected]
-v, --show-nonprinting
use ^ and M- notation, except for LFD and TAB
but what if i do not use cat?
This worked to get rid of noname attachment and show the output as e-mail text:
/bin/sh /path/to/script | tr -d \\r | mail -s "subject" [email protected]
