There are three ways to send and attachment.
#(1) Send in body of e-mail mailx -s 'Subject Lines goes here' user@company.com < filename.txt
#(2) To send as an attachment /usr/bin/uuencode filename.Z filename.Z | /usr/sbin/sendmail user@company.com
#(3) To send as an attachment with Subject, From and To
(
echo "From: "
echo "To: "
echo "Subject: "
echo "This is the body of the e-mail.
If you are having any problem with this file please give us a call.


"
/usr/bin/uuencode /local/filename filename
) | /usr/sbin/sendmail user@company.com

I hope this helps!

Option number 4 could be "mutt"

The following command will send a blank message with the file "~/myfile" attached, with the subject "here is the file" to "mr_manny@icecream.com".

mutt -a ~/myfile -s "here is the file" mr_manny@icecream.com < /dev/null

command line -

send mail w/an Attachment and Bcc another account(blind copy)

mutt -a ~/myfile -b joe@icecream.com -s "test mutt" mr_manny@icecream.com < /dev/null


other command line options

Running mutt with no arguments will make Mutt attempt to read your spool mailbox. However, it is possible to read other mailboxes andmessages from the command line as well.

-a attach a file to a message
-c specify a carbon-copy (Cc) address
-e specify a config command to be run after initilization files are read
-F specify an alternate file to read initialization commands
-f specify a mailbox to load
-h print help on command line options
-H specify a draft file from which to read a header and body
-i specify a file to include in a message composition
-n do not read the system Muttrc
-m specify a default mailbox type
-p recall a postponed message
-R open mailbox in read-only mode
-s specify a subject (enclose in quotes if it contains spaces)
-v show version number and compile-time definitions
-x simulate the mailx(1) compose mode
-y show a menu containing the files
-z exit immediately if there are no messages in the mailbox
-Z open the first folder with new message,exit immediately if none

hope this helps,
