[H-GEN] Attachments in mail ???

As the subject line suggests I need some help with sending 
attachments with mail; the command line version!!

I have a gory setup at my current client involving Slowlaris and
an antique Prime.  Although there is mail on the Prime, we don't
want to use it (for many reasons).  So mail generated on the Prime
is FTPed to the Sun and a cron on the Sun periodically sweeps it
into the mail system using the command line mailx command. Gaaahh!!

Some of the mail would be better transmitted as an attachment than
as the main text of the email. (Its comma delimited ASCII text)

The man pages for Solaris mailx look very similar to the Linux mail
command. Neither makes any mention of attachments. Is it possible
to create mail attachments using the command line program?

What I DON'T know about mail would fill volumes.  :-(
