u need to use uuencode for attaching files in mail
Code:
uuencode sample sample |mailx -r autoreplay@gmail.com -s "status" xyz@gmail.com

Most modern email clients do not understand uuencode. I found a perl script some some ago which can compute attachments in modern base64 form.

Solaris mailx does not have -a option.
But the following seems to work
Code:
MAILFORMAT="Please do not replay this mail.This mail is auto generated."
FILENAME=file.csv

mailx -r autoreplay@gmail.com -s "status" xyz@gmail.com << _EOM
$MAILFORMAT

`uuencode $FILENAME $FILENAME`
_EOM
