I think you should better use the following thing:
$ file=*.pdf; file=`echo $file | sed "s/ /,/"`
$ echo $file
$ email user@domain.com -s test -a $file < sample.txt

your code will return a list starting with a comma:
$ echo $file
,file1.pdf,file2.pdf,file3.pdf...

See it as an improvement - I needed quite long for that part.
