Thanks for your help!
I wrote a little shell script, which you can simply add to your crontab.
Needs a little handwork though, but is pretty simple to handle I think.

#!/bin/sh
# Modify the Variables  for your prupose
# needs curl and uuencode installed

SYSDATE=3D$(date +%Y%m%d)

#Path to save the png Files
LOGPATH=3D/usr/local/nagios/var

#Filename for png Files, sysdate will add a simple timestamp after each
file
FILENAME1=3D$(echo OBDUDFS1_USERDISK_$SYSDATE.png)

# Subject Line for mail
SUBJECT1=3D$(echo "XXXXXXXXX -" $SYSDATE)

#recipients (comma seperated for multiple reciepients)
RECIPIENTS=3Dy...@yo...,yoursecondemail

# optional, if your nagios needs http authentication
USERNAME=3Dyouruser
PASSWORD=3Dyourpassword

# URL, which is postet by perfparse
PERFPARSEURL=3Dhttps://yournagiosserver.xyz/nagios/cgi-bin/perfchart.png?=

##### nothing needs to be changed below #####

# get graph with curl
curl -k -u $USERNAME:$PASSWORD -o $LOGPATH/$FILENAME1 "$PERFPARSEURL"

#send the image
