-  * //mutt// and //mail// programs have similar syntax for the basic operation +  * Examples ​using [[plu:email_client_config#​mutt_and_mail]] in scripts or command line.
-    * //mutt -x// will emulate the mailx compose mode +
-  * Example ​using //mail// program +
-  * **NOTE**winlink mail is picky about the "​From:"​ & "​Reply-To:"​ fields so you need to set them explicitly+
  
-=== mail example === 
-<​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 
-</​code>​ 
  
-=== mutt example === 
-  * go [[plu:​email_client_config#​configure_mutt | here]] to see how to configure mutt 
- 
-  * //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>​
