I just followed Marius Gedminas' "tutorial" (if you can call it that):

$ echo "Here's the file I promised to send you" | mutt -s "Subject" \
-a attachment.zip recipient at example.com

Obviously, mutt and postfix must be installed on your system for this to
work (look at the second message in the thread for more info).
