If you have a properly configured MTA (postfix/exim/whatever) on your home 
computer you can use mutt. you can do it either interactively 
(but that would be a little complicated if you don't know mutt), 
or just like that:
echo "message body" | mutt -s "some subject" -a /path/to/attachement email-address
