Don't queue the responses, rather use the options available in the mail command. I use mutt, but mail has the similar options. In the following mutt example $email contains the email address(es) and $subject contains the subject, and mutt.include is the body of the email text. There is also a -a flag for attachments.

/usr/bin/mutt $email -s $subject < /some_directory/mutt.include

Subject: EXTERNAL: Rexx/Regina on Linux

I'd like a Rexx exec on Linux to send an email.  My first attempt at this is:

#!/usr/bin/regina
Queue 'This Is My Subject'
Queue 'This is the body of the email text.'
Queue '.'                                     /* exit mail's input mode */
'mail scully@ca.c...'
Exit

The pre-queued responses for the mail command don't help and mail ends up prompting me interactively.

Does anyone know how I might queue replies to the Linux mail command?

Thanks in advance for any advice on this topic.
