uuencode and Mutt

[Vivek Kumar <vivekk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I am pretty new to mutt. Infact I use mutt on my linux system to check
root's mail. I have written a script in AIX (korn shell), in which I
pick certain values from a file (like email add, attahcement name,
subject of the mail etc.) and do the following:

uuencode abcd.pdf abcd.pdf | mail -s "$target_desc" $target_user

(The $target_user may have 20 email addresses).

Everything is working fine except few users (who have a different mail
provider like blackberry or netzero) get garbage instead of attachment
of pdf file. Its starts with begin abcd.pdf then all garbage and at the
end there is word "end".
Someone told me to solve this probelm send the message in MIME encoded
format so he asked me to use mutt instead of above uuencode command. Now
I don't know how can I use mutt and get the job done.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

VIVEK
