simple program to send an email

[Peter Flynn]

UCB Mail is also fine: make the script write the mail text to a file and then

$ /usr/bin/mail -s "subject" recipient at host <filename

(or use a pipe). Sendmail offers more features: prepare the text with the 
To/From/Subject headers (separated from the body by a blank line) and then:

$ /usr/sbin/sendmail -vt <filename
