[plug] How to send a mail with binary attachment from a script in CentOS?

Hi,
I am looking for a script to send an email every day with a binary attachment from CentOS. I would prefer not to install an extra package but work with what is installed in the OS already. 'mail' is installed and would be perfect for the job, but it doesn't do binary attachments. I have trouble identifying any other command line email package in the system that I could use in a script, the content of "/usr/bin" follows.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Fred
