Bluntly put. UTL_MAIL is a piece of smelly brown stuff. It does not support attachments larger than 32KB (as it uses PL/SQL strings that cannot exceed 32KB). It is also written using GoTo statements - an epic fail in my view.
You need to use UTL_SMTP directly. Manually format the e-mail contents and attachments as per MIME specifications. It is not that difficult. Remember to base64 encode binary attachments.
Back with Oracle 9i, there was a maildemo example from Oracle, that used UTL_SMTP and demonstrated the basics fairly well. There are also numerous source code examples using UTL_SMTP on the web - and examples of MIME formatting you can easily create and examine using your own mail reader.
