I have not used this utility, but have you typed "man mailto" and seen what it has to say? The man pages are your friend and can enlighten you as to many things, including how to use the utility you wish to play with.
If you are unsure about or have never used man pages, then type "man man" at the command prompt and begin reading.

Jeff

Hi P.Jerald,
That is exactly what should happen. When you are finished with the body of your message, you press Control+D. mailto will respond with the EOT message, and your mail will be sent.

Hrm...If there was a problem sending the message, you will most probably have an email of your own. Check by using the "mail" command.
I have used the mail command and it works on distributions that use sendmail as the mail transfer agent. Which distributions are you using and which mail transfer agent are you using?

What I meant by using mail was that any errors that mailto has will show up in your inbox. So if you tried using mailto, and mailto encountered an error, the error message will be in a message in your mail.

BTW: Ctrl-D signals "end of file'.

K. But after ending the file, How to send it ?
Is there any difference between ending the file and sending the mail ?
I just want to send the mail.
Thanks in advance.

Mail is sent after key combination "Ctrl-D" is pressed unless the mail server is your problem - check with your local administrator.
