There seems to be some extra information necessary to separate the
attachments.

If I send attachments my mail client creates some additional header
information and separated attachments, each with its own header data.


---<snip>---

[...mail header...]
MIME-Version: 1.0
To: [mail address]
Subject: two attachments
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="------------060708080201020404090309"
X-Provags-ID: [...]==
Envelope-To: [mail address]

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

[here is attachment 1]

Try using "mutt" (www.mutt.org).

Perhaps if you add a blank line between the uuencoded files.
{ uuencode gaurav.txt gaurav1.txt
echo
uuencode get_env_parm.txt get_env_parm.txt1.txt; } | mailx abc@xyz.org
Or use whatever MIME tools are available, like mutt or mpack.
Do you really need to encode a plain text file? (maybe you do, if it
contains non-ASCII characters or lines longer than 80 characters).

I have the same problem.
Has anybody successfully sent an e-mail with more than one attachment
using uuencode?
Notes can just recognize the first attachment. GMail is even worst, it
doesn't recognize any attachment.

Use MIME, send each file in a separate email, or tar or zip the files.
