Question sendmail - set title


Hey,

This might sound a bit dumb but I'm working on a script that requires an email to be send if certain conditions are met. To do this i use:

Code:
sendmail -f "emai@domain.com" -F "User" email@domain.com < file.txt
"sendmail" is the only possible option to do this.
What I don't know (and I couldn't find on Google, though I've tried) is how to set the email TITLE. If I run it the way it is now it sends the mail with all the information as it's supposed to be but with no title.

Thanks

At the beginning of the file which contains the mail body (file.txt) you can specify the fields of the mail header, as in:
Code:
From: sender@domain.com
To: recept@domain.com
Cc: another@domain.com
Subject: Hello world!
In this way you can fill all the fields which appear in the header. Note that you can specify any sender in the "From:" field, even if it's different from the real sender (that one you specify with the -f option).
