and check out the  MAIL= option. You can specify a place to send 
messages that might be generated by scheduled processes. It's part of 
a wider ability to specify environment variables like PATH for cron 
jobs.

My web host running open BSD allows a complete email address - over 
the internet - in the MAIL= line but the man page seems to limit it 
to the name of a local user . I donno the details about how OS neXt 
handles it. I also don't know what happens if you specify MAIL=NULL.
