Without having tried it, the first thing that springs to mind is to turn off mail spooling.
In theory, attaching files should not be that much of a bother. I think you have to add a header specifying filename, MIME header, etc., and you have to add the file as a base-64 encoded block at the end of the email. Others (Jochem -- I'm looking at you!) could probably advise better about this.
