Sorry about being a bit late with a reply here - there's quite a few
"mime" based encoders out there. Even one meant to email files:
mimesend:
$ mimesend
Usage:
mimesend [-t to] [-s subj] (-f file [-m type])+
-n Don't actually send it; just print it to stdout.
-t to The "to" address.
-s subj The subject of the message.
-f file Path to attached file.
-m type MIME type of most recent attached file.
I found it in the perl-MIME-tools package together with several other
tools to easily turn a stream into a mime-encoded string.

Wise words of the day:
The only other people who might benefit from Linux8086 would be owners
of PDP/11's and other roomsized computers from the same era.
