Hello,

Using simple email without attachment works, but doesn't work when attaching files.
Using Linux ubuntu it doesn't work for me, base64 command fails (base64: invalid wrap size) at https://gist.github.com/amithgc/fe5f1e4821e4a9809117513eb92a362a#file-sendemail-sh-L114

The correct way to use base64 is "base64_content=$(base64 -w 0 < ${attachment})" instead of "base64_content=$(base64 -w 0${attachment})".

Cheers,
François
