In my opinion this is not a job for exim. Exim's function to insert a
message should be used only for testing/debugging your configuration.
Why don't you just use your MUA to send a mail. AFAIK all MUAs can be
used to send a message from command-line.
For example with mutt you would do it like this:
cat yourbill.txt|mutt -x -s "Cellular Account Statement" xxxxxx@???
That means your don't have to worry about completeness of mandatory
headers etc.

HTH,
Rainer
