Filemaker 11 I think has built in mail. If that isn't an option there is sendmail.
I use this script to take a screenshot and email it. Swapping in your file should be fairly simple.
-- Body Content
set theData to "ZOMG Fire!!!11!!ONE!!"
-- Target email(s)
set targetAddress to "[log in to unmask]"
--Name of the file you are sending. I generate a date in it
set fileName to do shell script "date +SCHDEDULER_%y%m%d_%H%M.png"
--Path to a temp file
set filename2 to "/tmp/" & fileName & ".tmp"
--set up Mail Headers
do shell script "date +'Date: %a %b %e %Y %H:%M:%S %z'>" & filename2
do shell script "echo 'Subject: SCHDEDULER Screen Shot'>>" & filename2
do shell script "echo 'To: " & targetAddress & "'>>" & filename2
do shell script "echo 'From: SCHDEDULER'>>" & filename2
do shell script "echo 'Mime-Version: 1.0'>>" & filename2
--You should probably change the boundary to something else
do shell script "echo 'Content-type: multipart/mixes; boundary=AccuBoundary_ConstantSep'>>" & filename2
do shell script "echo >>" & filename2
--Set up the body of the email
do shell script "echo '--AccuBoundary_ConstantSep'>>" & filename2
do shell script "echo 'Content-type: text/plain;format=flowed'>>" & filename2
do shell script "echo 'Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit'>>" & filename2
--Now the body
do shell script "echo " & quoted form of theData & ">>" & filename2
do shell script "echo >>" & filename2
--The attachment
do shell script "echo '--AccuBoundary_ConstantSep'>>" & filename2
do shell script "echo 'Content-type: application/octet-stream; name=" & fileName & "'>>" & filename2
do shell script "echo 'Content-transfer-encoding: BASE64'>>" & filename2
do shell script "echo 'Content-Disposition: Attachment; filename=" & fileName & "'>>" & filename2
do shell script "echo >>" & filename2
--The next line gets dropped if you already have a file in place
do shell script "screencapture /tmp/" & fileName
--UUencode the attachment to send and strip headers.
do shell script "uuencode -m /tmp/" & fileName & " " & fileName & "| grep -v " & fileName & " >>" & filename2
--Send it
do shell script "sendmail " & targetAddress & " <" & filename2
--Clean up
do shell script "rm /tmp/" & fileName & " " & filename2
