Another possible way
Here's the basic logic we use to send csv formatted files to Outlook (ksh on Solaris) maybe it will work for you.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

MAILBODY="This is the body of the e-mail"

# set_example.ksh is a unix shell script that gets sent as an attachment.
unix2dos -437 -ascii set_example.ksh attach.out
if (( $? != 0 ))
  then print "$0: unix2dos failed"
       exit 1
fi

(print $MAILBODY; uuencode attach.out set_example.txt) | mailx -s "mail test9" your_id@your_company.com
if (( $? != 0 ))
  then print "$0: uuencode or mailx failed"
       exit 2
fi

exit 0
