I don't think that's what he wants.  He wants a Mime attachment, and
neither sendmail nor /usr/bin/mail can do that.

I have used mutt to send binary attachments from scripts:

echo Shift-Double-click on the attachment to open it in Excel | 
  /usr/local/bin/mutt -s "Monthly report" -a log.csv user@host.com

you can attach as many files as you want with multiple -a flags.
