Command line send
Does Mutt have a command line option to send an e-mail message directly from the command line like cat message |mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] does for sendmail on standard Unix? without any interactive action needed? Thanks Carl Stehman
Re: Command line send
Yes. mutt does the same thing. I believe that mutt even has an extra command line option or two. read: man mutt man mail Joel On Tue, Apr 09, 2002 at 09:33:02PM -0400, Carl Stehman wrote: Does Mutt have a command line option to send an e-mail message directly from the command line like cat message |mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] does for sendmail on standard Unix? without any interactive action needed?

Non-interactive command line send
I have seen a few posts about this, but no matter how I try, I am missing something to make mutt send without prompting me for a password for my IMAP account, which is set up in my .muttrc file. I have a script which grabs today's Garfield comic, and /should/ then send it on to my wife. This is what I have: mutt -x -s Daily\ Garfield -a ga$theimg.jpg [EMAIL PROTECTED] ($theimg is the date in the format yymmdd, but that's not important) Obviously the email address is that of my wife and not mine. I don't need anything in the message body. TIA -- John Lennon:--v [Simon White. vim/mutt/Linux.

She costs me enough on 'phone bills as it is without reading all those good cartoons over my poor dialup line which costs me at least $50 a month and I rarely do anything but local calls.

David, Ralph... % We have this in German as well. But we use a comma: % You telepathic fiend, you. Same here in the US. *Blush* so I should have used a comma too. My mistake.
