Since this is really simple script, it is very limited. In example, it emulates only batch mode (actually, you may type form stdin but there are no hints about headers), only few options are avaiable (eascb) and recipient address must come at the end of line (due to getopts shortcomings). But, what is actually important here, you can type: "cat /var/log/syslog | mail root", just like on real unices :) URL: http://jedwab.net.pl/~jerzy/shell/mail.bz2 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
