Assuming that you have the mail sending sub system working you
can do something like this:

cmd file | mutt -s "Subject string goes here" someone at somewhere.uucp

of even redirect a file into mutt with similar options from the
command line.

If you'd like to use gmail as your smart host for your mail
subsystem (sendmail) check this out:
