Sending an email as an attachment from the command line

This may be an off topic question but I don't know where I
would post such a
question. 

I have a set of "quarantined" files all stored
in gz files. And I want to
have an automated program release them under special
circumstances. These
emails are essentially the full header and email before they
are delivered
in plain text. I have used mutt in the following fashion.

Zcat qemail.gz > tmp.eml | mutt -a tmp.eml -s
"test" recipdomain.com <
/dev/null 

But this results obviously in sending a .eml file which
works great on
outlook express but other email clients are confused. 
If I were to figure out the encodeing for Outlook it would
make it a .msg
file. But this would confuse OE. I have found that Dbmail
has the result
that I am looking for. If I have a bounced messange from
dbmail it will
attach the original in its message, however the file type
seems to morph
depending on what program looks at the message. My guess it
this deals with
the MIME type, but I don't know either how to set this in a
file or how to
determine what type is needed to make it an email. 

Any thoughts, redirections, general suggestions are more
than welcome.
Thanks

Steven Lamb
