sending mail from the command line with heirlooms xmail…….

First I created a ~/.mailrc file containing:

 set smtp-use-starttls
 set ssl-verify=ignore
 set smtp=smtp://$SMTPSERVERMYISP:587
 set smtp-auth=login
 set smtp-auth-user=$SMTPLOGINACCOUNT
 set smtp-auth-password=$SMTPLOGINACCOUNTPASSWORD
 set from="$MYEMAILADDRESS ($MYNAME)"

Then sending an email is just as simple as:

$mail someone@someonesisp.com

Then give the subject and start typing your message. Sending will be done by pressing CTRL-D.
