At the end of this message I will append a command or script file that has the series of commands you want to execute. These are basically 20 or so mail commands each of which mail to about three people on the list Each mail command has the subject heading in the command line, and there is a variable, $1, that represents the name of the file that has the contents of the message you want to send. So what you do is you put these 20 or so mail commands in a file called mail2aml. Then you make this file executable by typing: chmod +x mail2aml Then all you have to do when you want to send another message is first edit the file mail2aml so that it has the subject heading that you want. Then if the message that you want to send to the list is in a file called messagefile you type: mail2aml messagefile and it will send it off, and the last line of mail2ml mails to you the contents of mail2aml so you have a record of when you sent the message to whom.
