i'm not quite sure what you want to do here. you want to read input from
stdin, have it echoed out to the user again, and store it in the file too?
looks like your approach works, although i'd be inclined to do
STDIN=$(tee -a pantslog) # you sure you don't want cat > pantslog?
mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] < pantslog
or just
tee -a pantslog | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
just because i don't trust 'echo $variable's that much :)
(i have the feeling that the last option may be the one you want?)
