[BlueOnyx:10813] Re: yum update mail producing .bin attachment

[Jason Ozin]

Well I fixed it by piping the file yum.update through sed to remove the \r
characters from the file before sending the mail.

So Line 16 of /usr/sausalito/handlers/base/swupdate/yum-update.sh
Now reads:

/bin/cat /tmp/yum.update | /bin/sed 's/\r//' | /bin/mail -s "`/bin/hostname`
Yum Update output for `/bin/date +\%m`-`/bin/date +\%d`-`/bin/date +\%y`"
$EMAILRECIPIENT

However, I assume that this change will be written over the next time the
team decide to update yum-update.sh ?
If so is there a way for me to make it permanent or can the team add it as a
fix?

Subject: [BlueOnyx:10812] yum update mail producing .bin attachment

Since moving to 5107R my yum update emails are no longer plain text and
instead have the  /tmp/yum.update text added as an attachment called
ATT00001.bin. Thus iPhones/iPads refuse to read it.

I notice in the headers of the email message that mail has decided the
message is:
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

So I either want to have this attachment come through as a .txt attachment
or better still have the text of /tmp/yum.update added as plain text in-line
and not as an attachment, as it was previously.

I note that the file to edit is almost certainly going to be:

 /usr/sausalito/handlers/base/swupdate/yum-update.sh

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Jason
