Why does it need to be an attachment? Can't you print the email directly?

(as in "cat file|mail -s subject email at address")

Anyway, you can use the mpack command instead.

(It's a Debian package, but there's probably an rpm floating about too,
 otherwise I can send it to you - it's 18kB)

# mpack -s Test /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36 zombie at live.wasp.net.au

    sent me the file /boot/vmlinux-2.0.36 as an attachment.
