That said, I have EMAIL defined here because mutt's manpage says it can be used for exactly what you are asking about, and plain mail(1) seems to honor that in a local test. You might give it a try; either define it in your shell resource scripts or your ~/.mailrc. BTW, if you're wanting to use mail from console, I'd recommend mutt over mail(1) any day of the week, unless you have some mitigating circumstance.... HTH, Kevin Kinsey -- One difference between a man and a machine is that a machine is quiet when well oiled.
