Not sure if this will make it an attachment, but you could try this

uuencode myfile.tgz myfile.tgz
                    ^^^^^^^^^^ -- name as will appear on the attachment

This should spit out to stdout. So call mail as

uuencode myfile.tgz myfile.tgz | mail -s "Subject Line" [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hope this helps
