I don't believe that will work, you will have to MIMEify the message. It might be possible to put the body into a temporary file, run mhbuild on it, and then feed it to the standard input of mhmail. (You would not need the -body option in that case.) David __ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

I'm not quite sure what you are want. But here is a shell script,
shamelessly stolen from somewhere forgotten, and modified for my
use. It probably isn't what you want, but might be something you
can modify to do what you want.

[Nmh-workers] Sending "automatic" email
[A Hi, I am trying to figure out how, given the To, Subject and body of message, to generate a complete mail draft ready to shoot. I read about sendfile, comp and friends *but* I can't give these information at the command line level. How do you generally do ?
