* Create a mail message in a text file | * Create a mail message in a text file | ||
- | * Subject is: %%//WL2K R/%% Test msg | + | * Subject follows -s in quotes |
+ | * //mutt -c// allows specifying Carbon Copy addresses | ||
+ | * Blind Copy (Bcc:) does not work in winlink e-mail | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | # send content of a file in body of e-mail | ||
+ | mutt -s "put subject line here" you@youremailid.com someoneelse@whatever.com < file_name_of_content | ||
+ | </code> | ||

+ | ==== Running mail in a script or command line ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * //mutt// and //mail// programs have similar syntax for the basic operation | ||
+ | * //mutt -x// will emulate the mailx compose mode | ||
+ | * **NOTE**: winlink mail is picky about the "From:" & "Reply-To:" fields so you need to set them explicitly | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | # send content of a file in body of e-mail | ||
+ | mail -s "//WL2K your subject line here" -a "From: yourcallsign@winlink.org" -a "Reply-To: yourcallsign@winlink.org" someonescallsign@winlink.org someregularemailaddress < file_name_of_content | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | * Note in the example below you must use single quotes in the -s subject argument because of the forward slashes | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | # from command line or script | ||
+ | echo “This will go into the body of the mail” | mail -s '//WL2K cmd line test' -a "From: yourcallsign@winlink.org" -a "Reply-To: yourcallsign@winlink.org" some_regular_email_address | ||
