Thanks for both replies.

If I try to pass the contents of the variable, it errors out. "Fatal: Unknown argument: From" That's the first line of my demo.mail file. I think it's safe to assume it is reading the string as a file name only.

That means one more step of writing the email out to disk using the lda program as-is.

It's unfortunate that the first two replies to your OP (from Anonymous Monk and mrstlee) were wrong, and/or didn't quite get your question. Of course there's no guarantee that my replies are correct, either...	[reply]
