Thanks for all the help. I still had trouble getting the message inside testfile.txt <<attachment file>> to keep the content inside the file and stay in the attachment format and at the same time put the msgfile inside the email body. So....I figured since I am dealing with MIME type text anyway I will simply cat the file contents directly into the email body like so:

print "we are sending the message...";

cat testfile.txt msgfile.txt >>combofile.txt

cat combofile.txt | mailx -s "Online Financial Reporting - New Users" -r "Tim Kline" tim.kline@company.com


cat combofile.txt

rm combofile.txt

echo "email was sent!";

reporter-mailx [-v] -d DIR [-c CONFFILE] DESCRIPTION
The tool reads a problem directory, composes an email message from the directory contents, and uses mailx to send the message to specified recipient. Properties of email messages can be specified in a configuration file, and via environment variables. Configuration file Configuration file contains entries in a format "Option = Value". The options are: Subject The subject of the email message. EmailFrom The sender of the email message. EmailTo The recipient of the email message. SendBinaryData Use yes/true/on/1 to attach all binary files from the problem directory to the email. This can cause the emails to be very large. Integration with ABRT events reporter-mailx can be used as a reporter, to allow users report problems via email when they decide to do it. This usage is pre-configured in /etc/libreport/events.d/mailx_event.conf: EVENT=report_Mailx reporter-mailx It can also be used to notify administrator automatically when a problem happens. When this is desired, modify the event configuration file to run the tool on the post-create event: EVENT=post-create reporter-mailx OPTIONS
-d DIR Path to problem directory. -c CONFFILE Path to configuration file. When used in ABRT event system, the file contains site-wide configuration. Users can change the values via environment variables. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

Mailx_EmailTo Recipient of the email message. If nor the environment variable nor the corresponding option is defined, the message is send to "root@localhost".
