I think it's something to the tune of...

mail user@domain.com > /path/to/file

you might want to double check that

Well, this would sort of work:

mail foo@bar < file

(Note the less than, not the greater than, sign).

But it won't be an attachment (i.e. using MIME), it will just stick the file's text in the email. For a proper attachment, you may need to hack up a quick Perl script.
