Yes, but it's CLI makes it quite a versatile command line mailer, albeit not a command line _bulk_ mailer. > Using mailx' mail is probably easier.

It seems an awful lot can be done by simply piping a message to sendmail (in my case, exim) like so: cat <msg-file> | /usr/sbin/exim4 -bm -t I thought it was much more of a dark art than that, hence my use of mutt... until now.
