Something like this...

Code:

echo "Hello World" | mail -s "Put Subject Here" name@email.tld

I used this:
echo "Hello World" | sendmail -s "Put Subject Here" admin@localhost.localdomain

it's working, but I couldn't find the "subjetc" on the /var/spool/mail/admin, I just found "Hello World"
any more help
