With HP_UX you can use mailx or sendmail.

If your mailx isnt configured properly you will have to use sendmail. Scripted it would look like this:

uuencode name_of_file Name_you_want | sendmail address

The only issue is that sendmail doesnt allow you to set a subject header for the mail.

cat filename | mailx -s'Subject here' address

will read the file and send the file as the body of the message.

If your mailx is setup right then:

uuencode filename yourfilename | mailx -s'Subject here' address
