- Use
-
- $ mail/subject="I am on holiday" hols.txt "''QFROM'"
-
- Also, a word of warning. You need to somehow log each address you
- automatically send a message to and then ensure that you do not subsequently
- send another automatic message to that address. Otherwise, you may find
- yourself generating a mail loop or two. (E.g., you get a message from a
- mailing list, you post hols.txt to the list, you get you're posting back, you
- post hols.txt to the list, etc.)
