Back the first question: how do we replace double quotes in a field or
variable?
By the way, for security reasons you *must* ensure that the contents of
tBody and tAddresses are fully stripped of any shell metacharacters like
` or $. One of the good things about using single quotes '...' is that
the shell does no expansion at all in a single-quoted string.
If you don't, anybody who can affect the contents of tAddresses or tBody
can possibly execute arbitrary code on your server.
