The mailx program, included with many distributions of Linux will do exactly
this. It accepts the message body via stdin. A typical usage would be...
mailx -s"My article on linux" [EMAIL PROTECTED] < linuxarticle.txt
As far as dotted address notation is concerned, the use of an IP address in
an Internet email address is legal and is considered standard usage as long
as the IP address is in square brackets. You could, for instance, send
email to me at fmouse@[204.251.174.189].
See the man page for mailx for more information.
