Hi,

  yeah cool! This, I would've thought, was pretty common knowledge.

The original postre mentioned something about Perl, so why not use a nice,
system-friendly way of doing it like:

1> Making a text message file eg . 'textfile'
2> Exec'ing 'mail' and piping the contents of 'textfile' to it

Simplistic, but it works... Unless, of course, the original poster was
definitely after 'hacked' email and trying to masquerade as someone else!!
