Hi,

The following command can send an email to somebody. But there is no
name associated with the recipient.

echo 'Message body' | mail -s 'Email subject' somebody at example.com

Something like the following does not work.

echo 'Message body' | mail -s 'Email subject' 'First Last<somebody at example.com>'

Does anybody know how to specific the name of the recipient? Thanks.
