Error Mail attachments from unix

I have to translate a microfocus COBOL--generated ascii report file into pdf and attach it in an e-mail kicked off from within the following cgi script:
if [ "$EMAIL" = "Y" ]; then
sed -e '/^H_/s///g' <$REPFILE >$REPFILE2

print "


Emailing to $EMAILID

"
(
echo "To: $EMAILID"
echo "Subject: OK - Drawing $DRWID Issue $DRWISS Certified White Report
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary=\"------------F31625F689894DCE7A7A828F\"

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
--------------F31625F689894DCE7A7A828F
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit"

echo "
White Report from Certified Data included within:
Drawing ID = $DRWID
Issue = $DRWISS
ChgAnal = $CHG"
if [ "$CHG" = "Y" ]; then
echo "ChgAnalIss = $CHGISS"
fi
echo "Manuf Doc = $MFG"
echo "--------------F31625F689894DCE7A7A828F
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
"
cat $REPFILE2
echo "--------------F31625F689894DCE7A7A828F--"
) | mailx -t
------------------------------------------------------------
I can use postprint to go from ascii--->ps, and then I can use Acrobat's distill to convert the ps--->pdf, but how do I then attach the resulting pdf in an e-mail?
I've read all the threads here and I don't see an answer.
Please help. What am I missing? There is no option to mailx to attach, and the RFC822 was no help. We have to use mailx.
Thank you.

MU-EXTRACT(1)                                                 General Commands Manual                                                MU-EXTRACT(1)

NAME
mu_extract - display and save message parts (attachments), and open them with other tools. SYNOPSIS
mu extract [options] <file> mu extract [options] <file> <pattern> DESCRIPTION
mu extact is the mu sub-command for extracting MIME-parts (e.g., attachments) from mail messages. It works on message files, and does not require the message to be indexed in the database. For attachments, the file name used when saving it, is the name of the attachment in the message. If there is no such name, or when saving non-attachment MIME-parts, a name is derived from the message-id of the message. If you specify a pattern (a case-insensitive regular expression) as the second argument, all attachments with filenames matching that pat- tern will be extracted. The regular expressions are Perl-compatible (as per the PCRE-library). Without any options, mu extract simply outputs the list of leaf MIME-parts in the message. Only 'leaf' MIME-parts (including RFC822 attach- ments) are considered, multipart/* etc. are ignored. OPTIONS
-a, --save-attachments save all MIME-parts that look like attachments. --save-all save all non-multipart MIME-parts. --parts=<parts> only consider the following numbered parts (comma-separated list).The numbers for the parts can be seen from running mu extract without any options but only the message file. --target-dir=<dir> save the parts in the target directory rather than the current working directory. --overwrite overwrite existing files with the same name; by default overwriting is not allowed. --play Try to 'play' (open) the attachment with the default application for the particular file type. On MacOS, this uses the open program, on other platforms is uses xdg-open. You can choose a different program by setting the MU_PLAY_PROGRAM environment variable. EXAMPLES
To display information about all the MIME-parts in a message file: $ mu extract msgfile To extract MIME-part 3 and 4 from this message, overwriting existing files with the same name: $ mu extract --parts=3,4 --overwrite msgfile To extract all files ending in '.jpg' (case-insensitive): $ mu extract msgfile '.*.jpg' To extract an mp3-file, and play it in the the default mp3-playing application. $ mu extract --play msgfile 'whoopsididitagain.mp3' BUGS
