May I suggest an alternative - /usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-Sender
Install this perl module and then you can easily write a simple script
to handle your attachments. Something like the following:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use Mail::Sender;
$to = $ARGV [0];
$replyto = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
$subject = $ARGV [1];
$file= $ARGV [2];
$mesg= $ARGV [3];
$from= [EMAIL PROTECTED];
if (! $file )
{
PrintUsage();
die \n;
}
else
{
$sender = new Mail::Sender
{smtp = 'your.smtp.server.ip', from = $from};
$sender-MailFile({ to = $to,
replyto = $replyto,
subject = $subject,
msg = $mesg,
file= $file});
print The file $file has been sent to $to\n;
};
sub PrintUsage
{
print Usage: mailfile.pl To Subject File Message;
};
Not tested but should work, just alter to suit your needs.

I don't know about sendmail - it has a configuration option for everything :) , but may be more trouble than it's worth. You could do as Shantanoo suggested w/ mutt; there are probably similar incantations for pine, elm, etc. Doing it from a shell script is probably possible if you're willing to do all of the mime stuff. However, I think I'd look at Perl... I think if you found the right package this would be fairly straightforward.
