How to send email HTML + PDF attachment?

I am attempting to write a script where I can pass in parameters ( to , from, the location of a pdf attachment ) and send an email that has HTML for the body content and a PDF as an attachment.

I have failed to achieve this with sendmail and mutt. I recently found this.

If there are any other ideas, let me know. I could do this with Java or another programatic language but wanted to try and do this from the command line in a bash shell script first.
