Sendmail with attachment

Hello people,
I only have sendmail and uuencode on a Oracle (RH) linux server.
While:
Code:
/usr/bin/uuencode awr.html awr.html | /usr/sbin/sendmail myemail@company.com

Is working fine,
the ideal for me is to do something like:

Code:
echo "To: me@company.com" > /home/vasilis/msg.txt
echo "Subject: DB Notification" >> /home/vasilis/msg.txt
echo "Content-Type: text/plain" >> /home/vasilis/msg.txt
echo "X-Priority: 1 (Highest)" >> /home/vasilis/msg.txt
echo "X-MSMail-Priority: High" >> /home/vasilis/msg.txt
cat /home/vasilis/welcome.txt >> /home/vasilis/msg.txt


/usr/sbin/sendmail -t < /home/vasilis/msg.txt

Any idea how to include:
Code:
/usr/bin/uuencode awr.html awr.html

In the above script since I need to add an attachment?

Thank you in advance for any help.
