sending ASCII file with mail command (Fedora : OK ; OpenSuse : problem)

[Jacob (=Jouk) Jansen]

Hi all,

I try to send an E-mail with the content of an ASCII file as the body.
I do this with the following command
  mail -s subj joukj at hrem.nano.tudelft.nl < licinfo.txt

When I give the command on a Fedora (several versions tested) the E-mail is
recieved with the expected text in the body.
If I give the command on an OpenSuse 10.2 system An E-mail which is unreadable
is recieved at the other end.

How can I get the same behaviour on the OpenSuse system as on the Fedora
system?
