Subject: [U2] Shell Dispatch Quoting

I'm attempting to make use of a program called "mpack" which requires some
command line arguments to be quoted.  While doing this, I'm getting some
over quoting and things are not worked as they should. 
Is there another character or technique (aside from writing the command out
as a script and executing it that way) which can be used to get around this?

Here's and example of the command I would like to use.

mpack -s "this is the subject" -d body.file attachement.pdf emailname

To execute this I have to wrap it in quotes like this.

SH -c "mpack -s "this is the subject" -d body.file attachement.pdf
emailname"

This of course makes a mess...

Any ideas?  Or am I just being goofy today?
