I'm not a mutt guru, but sending attachments from cli is terribly
simple using uuencode. If possible, you could try something like:
uuencode /path/to/attachment | mail -s <subject here> <destination address>
I don't think the command would fail given the user doesn't have a
shell or/and a local mailbox.
