How about using mutt?

mutt -a attachment -s "this is the subject" user@emailaddress.com < fileWITHdetail
or
echo "this is the detail" | mutt -a attachment -s this is the subject" user@emailaddress.com < /dev/null

Usage:
-a <file> attach a file to the message
-b <address> specify a blind carbon-copy (BCC) address
-c <address> specify a carbon-copy (CC) address
-e <command> specify a command to be executed after initialization
-f <file> specify which mailbox to read
-F <file> specify an alternate muttrc file
-H <file> specify a draft file to read header from
-i <file> specify a file which Mutt should include in the reply
-m <type> specify a default mailbox type
-n causes Mutt not to read the system Muttrc
-p recall a postponed message
-R open mailbox in read-only mode
-s <subj> specify a subject (must be in quotes if it has spaces)
-v show version and compile-time definitions
-x simulate the mailx send mode
-y select a mailbox specified in your `mailboxes' list
-z exit immediately if there are no messages in the mailbox
-Z open the first folder with new message, exit immediately if none
-h this help message

NAME

       sensible-mda - a generic local MDA router for Debian systems

SYNOPSIS

       sensible-mda from to detail client-addr

DESCRIPTION

       sensible-mda  is used to simplify the installation and configuration of sendmail(8) , or other MTAs for use on Debian systems.  With sensi-
       ble-mda, sendmail can support a plethora of MDAs (procmail, maildrop, deliver, etc.) without having  pick any one of them as required.

FUNCTION

       sensible-mda is called by sendmail as a local mailer when the following exists in sendmail.mc:
       define(`LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS', `sensible-mda $g $u $h ${client_addr}')dnl

       sensible-mda will look for the following MDAs (in this order), and pass the mail on to the first SUID MDA found (Or first found MDA, if run
       w/euid=root): procmail(1), maildrop(1), deliver(8), mail.local(8)

OPTIONS

       Available command line options are the following:

       from   The sender of this email (sendmail $g variable)

       to     The recipient of this email (sendmail $u variable)

       detail The detail portion of the recipient userid (sendmail $h variable) - ie:
	      cowboy+sendmail@debian.org

       client-addr
	      TCP/IP address of the sender (sendmail ${client_addr} variable) Not used (for the nonce)

FILES

       /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
	      sendmail m4 input to generate sendmail.cf

       /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
	      actual sendmail configuration file (treated as a binary file)
