you could try this using sendmail:

Code:
( echo "to: test@test.com"
  echo "from: jhon1257@elsewhere.com"
  echo "subject: This is a test"
  echo "mime-version: 1.0"
  echo "content-type: multipart/related; boundary=xxxRANDOMSTRINGxxx"
  echo
  echo "--xxxRANDOMSTRINGxxx"
  echo "content-type: text/plain"
  echo
  echo "<some data>"
  echo "<some data>"
  echo "<some data>"
  echo
  echo "--xxxRANDOMSTRINGxxx"
  echo "content-type: image/gif; name=ChangeList.xls"
  echo "content-transfer-encoding: base64"
  echo
  ux2dos $ChangeList.xls | uuencode ChangeList.xls ) | sendmail -t -i
