sending to Mail.app

[Joseph Alotta]

Greetings,

I have some perl programs and I would like to send the output of them 
to the Mail.app so they look like regular email messages. I couldn't 
get any of the unix mail stuff to work, probably because I do not have 
sendmail running for security concerns reasons.  (I dial up a few times 
a day).

I figured out where Mail.app was storing it's text and I was able to 
append stuff on the end of the file and that worked only half and half. 
 Apparently, the indexed get messed up and Mail.app crashes now and 
then. Then I created a new mailbox and append email to that, and that 
solves the crashing part, but the messages aren't flagged as new, and I 
sometimes miss them.

I can think of two different ways to handle this, 1) using Mac::Glue to 
cause Mail.app to send a message out to myself, or 2) append to the end 
of the inbox file and then use Mac:Glue to update the
indexes.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?
