I spoke with Dean as well, the author, and he advised the same.  I wrote 
a little script that accomplishes what I need, and wanted to share it, 
pasted in line below:

email.bash
#!/bin/bash
export file=""
for x in *.pdf; do
         export file=$file,$x
done
echo $file
email user AT domain DOT com -s test -a $file < sample.txt


Hope someone finds some use for it.
