As well as the answers from John Scillieri and Duncan Murdoch:
if it does happen that you're using a Unix/Linux system, then
the appropriate variant of the following illustration will work
(the 'mail' command should always be present on variants of these
systems):
In the little project I'm working on in R at the moment,
I have variables x1 and x2 (each length-50 numeric vectors).
So I can, in R, do:
sink(file="myoutput")
cbind(x1,x2)
sink()
system("mail ted -s \"Test No 2\" < myoutput")
which has stored the 2-column output from cbind(x1,x2) in the
file "myoutput", and then used the 'mail' command to mail its
contents to 'ted' with subject 'Test No 2' (I used a multi-word
subject to illustrate the quotes the command line will need,
to avoid splitting the subject into separate tokens).
See ?sink for how to use the sink() command.
Then 'ted' duly received an email with contents:

You can of course encapsulate something like the above sequence
of commands into an R function, depending on how you organise the
storage of the results you want to email.
Hoping this helps,
Ted.
