Hi,

I am using Sun OS 10 and trying to use mail in a shell script.

Is there a bug in the -s parameter for the mail command. According to
the api it should put the subject if used with -s, but it never does.
Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks,
Anoop

You could try constructing the message with a Subject: header.

Wow - I didnt know that you could do that - it worked very well - I
wonder where I can find all the other such tags that go with the mail
command.
I just figured out that it supports the To: and the From: as well.

Thank you - it worked nice.
