If you are on PowerShell 2.0, just use the built-in cmdlet Send-MailMessage:

C:\PS>Send-MailMessage -from "User01 " `
                       -to "User02 ", `
                           "User03 " `
                       -subject "Sending the Attachment" `
                       -body "Forgot to send the attachment. Sending now." `
                       -Attachment "data.csv" -smtpServer smtp.fabrikam.com

If you copy/paste this watch out for the extra space added after the backtick. PowerShell doesn't like it.
