Most flavours of Unix have a mail or mailx command which you can use like this:

Code:
mail -s "a subject" recipient@example.com << HERE
some email body
HERE

If mutt is available, that offers a richer set of options, and the ability to sensibly include attachments to the message, with basically the same syntax.

Sendmail works the same way, too, but you need to put the headers in the message yourself.

Code:
sendmail -oi -t <<HERE
From: user@example.net
To: recipient@example.com
Subject: AYBABTU

uuencode only accepts one file at a time, so you may need multiple uuencode commands or a for loop. The first optional parameter is the name of the local file, and the second paramater is the name given to the attachment. They are both assumed to be the same if only one parameter is given.
