How to send email with multiple attachments ?

Hello ,

I am trying to send an email with two attachments . I have tried all previous suggestion in this forum but none worked. I could send one attachment in an email by

Code:
uuencode $file "$file" | mailx -m -s "File"  xxx@xx.com

but unable to send multiple attachments .
I have tried

Code:
1 .  `(uuencode $file1 $file1 ; uuencode $file2 $file2)` | mailx -m -s "All Files"  xxx@xxx.com 

2.

files= ( "$file1" "$file2" )  
for fileName in ${files[@]} 
	do
	uuencode $fileName $fileName 
	done)` | mailx -m -s "files in attachment" xxx@xx.com

By using 1 , I am getting message that begin : not found .

By 2 , I am getting message that the file could not be found , but I see that the file exists in the path.
I am very confused after trying a lot. Please help
