[SLUG] sending a file attachment with mail from the command line

I'm trying to setup an automated database backup. I'm using mysqldump to
dump the data to a text file and then tar the file up (it's not a large
database) and then I would like to send it to a user on a differnet
system. This is the command I'm using
mail -s "mebs backup" somone@somewhere.com < mebsbackup.tgz

This will send the file but not as an attachement to the email. I do get
the contents of the file but I was hoping for a file "mebsbackup.tgz"
that I could save on my system.
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks
Mike M
