Hello!
We use a software called 'mimencode' to do it. Sorry, our system administrator is on an business trip, so i'm not able to say where you can get it. But this should not be a problem (i'm sure you can find it in the web).
With this piece of software you can do something like

snip----------------------------------------------

#! /bin/sh
(echo "From: Markus Bock <mb_at_nic.dtag.de>";

echo "To: test_at_nic.dtag.de" ;
echo "Cc: test2_at_nic.dtag.de" ;
echo "Subject: test.csv" ;
echo "Mime-Version: 1.0" ;
echo "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" ;
echo "Content-Description: test.csv" ;
echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" ;
echo "" ;

/usr/local/bin/mimencode -b -p < test.csv ) | /usr/lib/sendmail -v -t

snap---------------------------------------------

that's all.
Hope this helps.

nice day
Markus
