Code:
uuencode att.txt att.txt |mailx -s "attachment" adc@mail.com 
mailx -s "attachment summary" adc@mail.com < text.txt

I have been told that there are other mail utilities available for unix that can accomodate the attachment and message. Perhaps someone here can add the name(s) of other utilities. [Or, let us know how to get the syntax to work.]
Thanks joeyg for your solution.

But i found how to send the summary report and attachment in a single mail command,

(cat text.txt uuencode att.txt att.txt) |mailx -s "attachment" adc@mail.com
mailx -s "attachment summary" adc@mail.com


Hope this wlll help you.

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
