man mail

Thanks.

I had a go and have used this for example:

mail myself@somedomain.com -s MySubject -a attachedfile

That works but it prompts you to enter a body text etc. How can I write the
line without having to then interactively enter body text. I will be
calling this from a batch program.

Please do not top post.

You may want to use a "here" document. "man bash" and look for
"redirection".

As a quick guide though....

mail wibble@wobble <<%%
data
data
%%

Or to redirect a file...

mail wibble@wobble < /path/to/file
