You should go other way around. After calling $template->Parse you call
$template->MIMEObj and get MIME::Entity representing result of the
template. You then can update this entity with attachments, more headers
and so on.

RT-Attach-Message: yes header is checked by notification scrip, so it
should be in notification template, not in template which you use to
generate content.
