UTSL. It's really not that difficult ;)

pkgsurvey is just a one-line shell script:

  #! /bin/sh

  /usr/sbin/pkg_info -K /var/db/pkg | sort | mail -s "`hostname` \
     `/usr/bin/uname -s`-`/usr/bin/uname -p`-`/usr/bin/uname -r`" \
     agc-pkgsurvey@pkgsrc.org

  exit 0

You can simply cut and paste the commands to glue together a suitable mail.

I sent mine with mutt and I still got a nice "thank you for participating"
reply from Mr. Alistair Crooks. Well worth it :)
