I guess this kind of output is something related to OS. What OS your in..? Try mailx's -a option to send attachment if available

That looks like a valid uuencoded attachment really. Unfortunately email programs are beginning to forget about the older uuencode method and rely purely on MIME/base64, and just show that garbage when it happens.

Code:
mailx -a file1 -a file2 -s "subject" user@domain <message-file

Attaches both files to the mail with what was in message-file sent as the main body. Your mileage might vary, but it seems to work for me.
