What editor are you using with mutt?  Check that editor for a command to
include another file.  Under emacs, it's Ctrl-x then i  Other editors
probably have something similar.

Alternatively, you could try doing a copy and paste with the mouse.  Left
button to highlight, middle button (or left and right simultaneously with a
2 button mouse) to paste.

Or you could simply attach the script output file to the email.  After
editing your message, when you get the mutt screen where you would press y
to send the message press a instead.  You'll be prompted for the filename to
attach.  As usual, hit ? for the directory browser.
