linux mailx_通过管道传输到Linux mailx的纯文本文件变为“ Content-Type：应用程序/八位字节流”（附件）...

linux mailx

Plain text file pipelined to Linux mailx turns to “Content-Type: application/octet-stream” which is recognized as an attachment by some email client. The command is like this:

通过管道传输到Linux mailx的纯文本文件将变为“内容类型：应用程序/八位字节流”，某些电子邮件客户端将其识别为附件。 该命令是这样的：

$ cat log.txt | mail -s "Updated log file" -r "from@example.com" "to@example.com"

I expect it to be:

我希望它是：

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

But it turns out to be:

但事实证明是：

Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

And from the email client (Gmail, thunderbird, etc), it is recognized as an attachment.

并且从电子邮件客户端（Gmail，雷鸟等）将其识别为附件。

How can I force the content to be inlined in the mail as “Content-Type: text/plain”?

如何强制将内容作为“内容类型：文本/纯文本”内联？

From the “MIME types” of the man page of mailx:

在mailx手册页的“ MIME类型”中：

If there is a match with the extension of the file to attach, the
given type/subtype pair is used. Otherwise, or if the filename has no
extension, the content types text/plain or application/octet-stream
are used, the first for text or international text files, the second
for any file that contains formatting characters other than newlines
and horizontal tabulators.

如果与要附加的文件扩展名匹配，则
给定的类型/子类型对。 否则，或者文件名没有
扩展名，内容类型为text / plain或application / octet-stream
用于第一个用于文本或国际文本文件 ，第二个用于
对于任何包含换行符以外的格式字符的文件
和水平制表符。

If the log.txt file contains formatting characters other than newlines and horizontal tabulators, it’s type will be recognized by mailx as “application/octet-stream”.

如果log.txt文件包含换行符和水平制表符以外的格式字符，则mailx会将其类型识别为“ application / octet-stream”。

Again, from the man page of cat:

同样，在cat的手册页中 ：

-v, –show-nonprinting use ^ and M- notation, except for LFD and TAB

-v，–show-nonprinting使用^和M-表示法，LFD和TAB除外

The trick is to add -v as cat‘s option to “show” the nonprinting characters as this:

诀窍是添加-v作为cat的选项，以“显示”非打印字符，如下所示：

cat -v log.txt | mail -s "Updated log file" -r "from@example.com" "to@example.com"

This works well for my testing.

这对我的测试来说效果很好。
