As already mentioned, mutt allows editing of the headers prior to sending. 's' invokes editing of the Subject. > Mutt can do that, too. To send via an alternative SMTP server, I do > roughly: ... That seems very convenient for a mutterer, yet (out of ancient habit) I use mailx to fling off a quick short missive constructed on the command line, here any calendar events looming in the next fortnight: x=`calendar -l 14 -f ~/Personal/calendar` ( [ -n "$x" ] && echo "$x" | mail -s "$x" erik ) (Yes, popular bash idiom has recently (maybe even this century) morphed from backquotes to $(...) gumpf. \Whatever/ ) You may want to put something other than the first line of the script output in the subject line, -s "...". $ apt-cache search mailx | grep mailx bsd-mailx - simple mail user agent heirloom-mailx - feature-rich BSD mail(1) Even more manual would be to employ netcat or telnet to port 25, and talk raw SMTP.
