Why don't you start with:

Code:
$ man mail
and do a little reading?

Try my script. I called it mailing.

mailing:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

# "first@some.net,second@some.net" -- one e-mail to all (without spaces)
# "first@some.net, second@some.net" -- each e-mail separately (with spaces)
ADDRESSES="ADDRESSES.TXT"
MAIL="MAIL.TXT"

SUBJECT="This isn't a spam"

# "first -a second -a third" -- a few attachments
ATTACHMENT=""

SIGNATURE="~/.signature"
REPLY="me@own.org"

cat $MAIL > /tmp/mail
cat $SIGNATURE >> /tmp/mail

for address in `cat $ADDRESSES`
do
    if [ "$ATTACHMENT" != "" ]
    then
        nail -s "$SUBJECT" -a $ATTACHMENT -r $REPLY $address < /tmp/mail
    else
        nail -s "$SUBJECT" -r $REPLY $address < /tmp/mail
    fi
done

rm /tmp/mail
