This worked, so thank you, but what about binary attachments?  Is that
possible?  
Say like this.

I have a small recording device hidden out side my front door.  I have a
video only feed from a camera hidden near my front door. They both
record to a directory called /security and the audio goes into a file
called 'date +%Y_%M_%D'audio.mp3 and the video goes into 'date
+%Y_%M_%D'video.mpg and I want both of those emailed to my mail server
which will automatically strip the mp3 and mpg files and puts them into
my database.  

Except right now, I have to manually mail the binary attachments.
Anyway of doing this?
