Thanks Ygor, nothing brought up in the search apart from uuencode sadly. My usual command to attach files to an email is:
uuencode $CSV_FILE $(basename $CSV_FILE)
) | if [ $DATABASE_LIVE = 1 ]
then mailx -b "$COPY_TO" -s "$SUBJECT" -r "$MAIL_FROM" "$MAIL_TO_LIVE"
else mailx -s "$SUBJECT" -r "$MAIL_FROM" "$MAIL_TO_TEST"
fi
However I wanted have the body of the email in MIME or even better (as per your coding) a HTML file that I can construct within my shell script. This makes the body of the email look good (HTML formatting) but also relevant to UNIX Box and Database(s) (with Shell Script variables).
Is there a way to combine the script? Many thanks.

uuencode
uuencode(5) File Formats Manual uuencode(5)
Name
uuencode - format of an encoded uuencode file
Description
Files output by consist of a header line, followed by a number of body lines, and a trailer line. The command ignores any lines preceding
the header or following the trailer. Lines preceding a header must not, of course, look like a header.
The header line is distinguished by having the first six characters by the word ``begin'', followed by a space. The next item on the line
is a mode (in octal) and a string which names the remote file. A space separates the three items in the header line.
The body consists of a number of lines, each at most 62 characters long including the trailing new line. These consist of a character
count, followed by encoded characters, followed by a new line. The character count is a single printing character and represents an inte-
ger, the number of bytes the rest of the line represents. Such integers are always in the range from 0 to 63 and can be determined by sub-
tracting the character space (octal 40) from the character.
Groups of 3 bytes are stored in 4 characters, with 6 bits per character. All are offset by a space to make the characters print. The last
line may be shorter than the normal 45 bytes. If the size is not a multiple of 3, this fact can be determined by the value of the count on
the last line. Extra dummy characters are included to make the character count a multiple of 4. The body is terminated by a line with a
count of zero. This line consists of one ASCII space.
The trailer line consists of "end" on a line by itself.
