shell mail client..

[duncan brown]

mail is what you're looking for.

echo "web server is down" | mail -s "mail server issues"
someone at somewhere.com

you can also redirect a text file into mail

mail -s 'some problems' < /tmp/errlog.out

-d

Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy
