Brian,
I've seen two answers to this question both of which directed you to a third
party piece of software (mutt and matt). While these may work just fine, why
not just use the programs that come with the system? Whether you have a text
file, the output of a command, or a tar file you want send as an attachment,
mailx works for me:
mailx -s "Subject Goes Here" email_address@foo.com <<EOF
Below is the contents of the file "output.file":
$(cat output.file)
Here is a listing of the files in /foo/bar:
$(ls -la /foo/bar)
Attached is a tar file:
$(uuencode tarfile.name tarfile.name)
EOF
