Have you checked the first obvious place,
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/ssmtp-2.60.4.README (and the second,
/usr/share/doc/ssmtp-2.60.4/README)?
There are SMTP modules for perl, and another mailer, "mutt", which may
have the scripting capability you need (as it has a "mail" emulation
mode). Also, someone posted a "mail" script recently (within the past
week) that uses ssmtp and may do exactly what you want.
