Not really readable.
After some research I found the solution.
Use MIME instead of `uuencode`.
Finally I made it manually using `sendmail`.
I didn" t dare to use `telnet`. The command to use is: ~~~~~~ {.zsh} sendmail -t -oi < mailcontent.txt ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Of course you need to create the ` mailcontent . txt ` file . It should contains: < pre >
From: from@mail.com
To: to@mail.com
Subject: View the attached file
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="-"
This is a MIME encoded message. Decode it with "Decoder"

< p > That is all. Sometimes technology is so easy to use. If I need it another time I should consider to make a shell script to automatize this.< / p >
