Needs an "eval" because you are composing a command line then executing that line later. I also needed a "-m" on mailx to get the attachments to be attachments. You may not need this - it depends on what Operating System and version you have (It always helps to state what you have).

(echo "${message}"; eval ${attachmentString}) | mailx -s "${subject}" "${email}"

On my test the attachments were not in a useful format. If your logfiles are in unix format and you want to read them with something like Windows Notepad it is necessary to convert the files with "ux2dos" (or "unix2dos") in the pipeline to "uuencode".
