Hi, this is really useful!!!!! Could you help me a little more to understand the syntax? It's not clear to me what "cat <<Z" and "Z" do!
In addition to that ... what do I need to configure to let this work? I'm not able to run it on all my desktops so probably something is set different! I get no error but I do not receive the mail! Thanks!!
