That's perfect. Bloated sigs from a bloated editor.

But you can use emacs as your mh editor, so therefore mh can do anything when
combined with emacs ;)

I recently posted mh. I think that the mh tools will do exactly what you
want to do.

I saw some of the responses to this, such as Pine and Elm, but how about
mh. The beauty about mh is that it works very nicely from the command line
and uses your editor of choice, such as vi. The body of the mesage is text.
There are several X based email programs that use mh underneath, such a

Or...you can still use mutt. I can do most of those things just fine. Not
sure why you would want to use a file for a list of addresses. If the number
of folks you want to mail in that list then use majordomo or something.
Otherwise just use /etc/aliases or /etc/mail/aliases as the case may

Pine is nice. I like Pine. I use Pine. But does it work straight off the

Ken Lussier asks for command line tool that allows sending mail using
files to get list of recipients, body, etc. (Sounds like he's going
to become a spammer.)
You can do this with any of sh, bash, csh, ksh, perl, python,
maybe even awk or a shell alias. Sendmail accepts the headers and

If you don't need MIME Content/type stuff, sendmail will do this
(probably best to write a little shell script wrapper to it, to find
the files, etc).
If you do need MIME headers & wrappers perhaps the metasend(1)
or mailto(1) programs in the metamail package?

All,
I am looking for a mail program for UNIX/Linux that works from the command
line. I need to be able to specify recipients (or preferably a file containing a
list of recipients), change the sender address, specify a file to get the body
text from, and attach a file. I thought that Mutt
