The file with "-H file" must contain a header - and a header *only*. No body. that's what "-i incfile" and stdin are for. Besides, "-s subject" must go *before* the addresses. However, as you specify a header file all header info such as the subject line and the addresses lines are taken from that file; further data from the command line is ignored. If you want to *include* data for the *body* then use option "-i file". Example: $ cat mutt.header From: Sven Guckes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: automized sending with mutt To: guckes-mutt-test $ mutt -i incfile "the subject" [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]< /etc/fruit Note that both the subject and the addresses from the command line are ignored. however, both incfile and /etc/fruit are added to the *body* - with incfile first and /etc/fruit after that. you could use /dev/null instead of /etc/fruit, of course. Mutt's manual is missing a description for this - but then it's just a manual which gets updated only with patches to the code (or so it seems). but maybe I'm missing the guideline for additions to the manual (which probabaly should be in the manual, too ;-).
