uuencode - This is the original method to send encoded text within a message. It is not an attachment as we think of them today but is still used enough to warrant putting it here.
uuencode $ATTFILE $ATTFILE | mail -s "$SUBJECT" $MAILTO

(uuencode $FILE1 $FILE1; uuencode $FILE2 $FILE2) | mail -s "$SUBJECT" $MAILTO

simple shell commands - For a very simple text (plain or html) attachment with just one file:
echo "From: $LOGNAME\nTo: $MAILTO\nSubject: $SUBJECT\nMime-Version: 1.0\nContent-Type: text/plain\n" > /tmp/file
cat $TXTFILE >> /tmp/file
/usr/lib/sendmail -t -oi < /tmp/file

Hope this will help you.

You can use the free ware utility : mpack.

We have integrated some of our oracle applications report outputs to be sent as mail attachment to end users.
