Mail attachment using MIME

Mail attachment using MIME
Hello All
I want to send an an attachment via mail from VMS. For testing, I am trying to send a text file. But it appears in the mail body.
Please let me know if VMS MAIL and MIME are all I need to send attachments via mail.

VMS 7.3-2. (I am trying this from the DEATHROW VMS cluster - GEIN).

These are the steps I am following:
RUN SYS$SYSTEM:MIME.EXE
MIME> NEW StG.MIME
*CHANGE
I DO NOT enter some text here that should be displayed in the text body, if entered.
CTRL+Z
*EXIT
MIME> ADD LOGIN.COM /ENCODING=7bit
MIME> SAVE
MIME> EXIT
$ !back to DCL
$ MAIL/SUBJECT="Mime from VMS" StG.MIME "xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx"



When I open my mail, I see:

Mime-version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="OpenVMS/MIME.538968436.1338898131"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Message-ID: <538968436.1338898131@OpenVMS>


--OpenVMS/MIME.538968436.1338898131
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: inline


--OpenVMS/MIME.538968436.1338898131
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=LOGIN.COM
