If you want to do it periodically, you could set up a cron job. If you want to use 'at', something like this will work: echo mutt -s \'at test\' address '<' /path/to/message/text | at now + 1 minute Note that the input redirection operator < is quoted in the 'echo' command so that it is evaluated by 'at' and not by 'echo'. The quotes around "at test" are also quoted so that 'at test' will be seen as a single argument to -s. For a summary of the parameters you can set from the command line, just execute mutt -h or for a slightly more complete explanation, man mutt Regards, Gary
