No I-Net access currently. Anyway, on the gentoo box, a simple $PORTFOLIO_SCRIPT --html 2>/dev/null>&1 | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t works. In Fedora, the system which will be sending it out, well, I remember doing just that but it didn't work. Will try again. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You could probably use a HERE document.

I did it, didn't have to go through perl. Just added a mail_header() to
my script.
mail_header()
{
echo "MIME-Version:1.0"
echo "From:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
echo "To:$RECIPIENT"
echo "Subject:Quotes $DATE"
echo "Content-Type: text/html"
echo
}
and then I added a script for cron
#!/bin/sh
#
TEMPFILE="/tmp/file.$$"
PORTFOLIO_SCRIPT=$HOME/scripts/portfolio.sh
$PORTFOLIO_SCRIPT --html > $TEMPFILE 2>/dev/null>&1
&& /usr/sbin/sendmail -t < $TEMPFILE && rm $TEMPFILE
Next, I think the above code can be enhanced by not using a tempfile.
perhaps a < EOF
