mail command


If I use the command

Code:
cat textfile|mail email@address.com
then I can email the content of the textfile into email@address.com. But it always arrives with no subject. How can I add a subject using the above method? And is it possible to add multiple addresses to the method above?

You can add a subject on the command line using the -s option. And yes, you can send to multiple adresses. See man mail for details.
