I'd also use emacs, but first I need a major RAM upgrade. :) I've come up with something that seems to work ok with gmail and sendmail. It involves issuing the following command: /bin/foreach x /var/spool/sendmail/out/* ? tail +2 $x | /usr/sbin/sendmail ? rm $x ? end Alternately I made that into a 2 file "script": file: /bin/send #!/bin/gsh /bin/foreach x /var/spool/sendmail/out/* < /bin/send.dat > .null file: /bin/send.dat tail +2 $x | /usr/sbin/sendmail rm $x That combo works well enough to send the mail on it's way. The way I use to get around gmail's need for all config files to be in the same folder as the exe is by using the following: file: /bin/mail rm /bin/signature /bin/gmail.cf > .null cp $HOME/gmail/* /bin gmail mv /bin/gmail.o $HOME/gmail send It copies all the set-up files, calls gmail, returns the only needed file to the users account and sends any mail. > Any guidance would be appreciated.
