It is painful when someone cannot post the version of HP-UX (which appears clearly in uname -a).
Anyway, assuming that this is a modern version, /sbin/sh will be the Posix Shell.
Corona688 has hit the nail on the head. The solution posted largely fits the bill.
There are differences between unix and MSDOS text file formats. I would convert the files if the mail reader is likely to be a Microsoft mail client.
The only change I might make is to ensure the the names of the files in $file1 and $file2 are formatted to MSDOS standards. e.g. If the file is a Text file it should have the extension ".txt" such that the recipient can open the file with Windows Notepad.
Normally MSDOS File Extensions are totally irrelevant in unix, but in email attachments they are important.
Ps. Your Option 2 is a non-starter. It contains too many syntax errors.
From a program, I want to execute a UNIX elm command that will send multiple txt attachment files to an email address. I can do it for one attachment only ie. "elm -s"subject" emailaddress < attachment.txt"
1. The attachment is received in the body of the email and not as an attachment.

comm
comm(1) User Commands comm(1)NAME
comm - select or reject lines common to two files
SYNOPSIS
comm [-123] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
The comm utility reads file1 and file2, which must be ordered in the current collating sequence, and produces three text columns as output:
lines only in file1; lines only in file2; and lines in both files.
If the input files were ordered according to the collating sequence of the current locale, the lines written will be in the collating
sequence of the original lines. If not, the results are unspecified.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-1 Suppresses the output column of lines unique to file1.
-2 Suppresses the output column of lines unique to file2.
-3 Suppresses the output column of lines duplicated in file1 and file2.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
file1 A path name of the first file to be compared. If file1 is -, the standard input is used.
file2 A path name of the second file to be compared. If file2 is -, the standard input is used.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of comm when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Printing a list of utilities specified by files
If file1, file2, and file3 each contain a sorted list of utilities, the command
example% comm -23 file1 file2 | comm -23 - file3
prints a list of utilities in file1 not specified by either of the other files. The entry:
example% comm -12 file1 file2 | comm -12 - file3
prints a list of utilities specified by all three files. And the entry:
example% comm -12 file2 file3 | comm -23 -file1
prints a list of utilities specified by both file2 and file3, but not specified in file1.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of comm: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE,
LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 All input files were successfully output as specified.
>0 An error occurred.
