I have used uuencode and mpack in the past for sending attachements as emails. The best method that I have found is to install the Perl mime lite library and write a Perl script for sending the email. There are plenty of options on how to send the email and you should be able to send it using MIME/Base64. If Perl isn't an option, check to see if mpack is installed. Perl would be the best option though.
