Well, creating the RFC-822 message is a job for the UA (mail client) not an MTA like ssmtp. For MIME messages containing attachments doing it manually requires a fair amount of work, especially if the attachment is binary. Astlinux doesn't have mmencode installed, but Busybox' "uuencode -m" is a possible replacement (just cut off first and last line of the file sent to stdout). The MIME headers may be handcrafted, basing your code on a sample MIME message created by a "real" mail client and consulting the documents from http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt to http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2049.txt to clarify doubts... There is also an old command-line utility called "Metamail" that would do most of the work for you, but it's not included in Astlinux.
