Sorry, I meant -t (read To: and Cc: lines for addresses). My example
was illustrative; I certainly didn't intend that you type the stuff
exactly as I wrote it. You can do the same with a program or a shell
script. Essentially was I was saying is "build your own message,
including the headers, and pass that to sendmail. And you don't need
-t; you can put the recipients on the command line. Use popen() from a
program, or system(shell-script-name) or any of the myriad other ways.
