Have you tried just redirecting the file in?
mailx -s "hello html attach" abc@yahoo.com < /tmp/mailbody.txt

If you are familiar with (or willing to read) RFC 821, 822 and 1341 (available at www.ietf.org), then you can construct a mail message and deliver it through telnet.

It is a little bit fiddly, but not really difficult.
