AIMS will do this for you, although it's twisted and overkill:

   1) You'll need to write the mail file yourself;
   2) If MacPerl can't add resources to a file, you'll need to
      MacPerl:Applescript (or whatever) to add the correct resources
      to the file using the GTQ scripting additions, and then
   3) Move the file into the AIMS Incoming folder.

AIMS will handle it from there.

You can look at my FireShare code for examples of how this is done in
AppleScript.
