I feel like I'm missing something, but if you leave off the pipe and
just use the mutt command (mutt -s "File Attached" -a
/home/keith/somefile.tgz you at example.com) then mutt will start your
editor to let you edit the message, then when you exit the editor mutt
will send the message with attachment and exit.
