Try my sendfile shell script:

  http://www.pobox.com/~agreene/downloads/

It uses the syntax: 

  sendfile filename recipientlist

It looks in ~/mime.types and /etc/mime.types to try to assign a MIME
type that is consistent with the filename extension. It defaults to
application/octet-stream. It uses mmencode to base64 encode the
attachment. mmencode is part of the metamail package.
