send email from commandline

[Rick Weinbender <lsrwein@central-ph.k12.mo.us>]

What is the correct syntax for sending
mail from the command line.
(server runs qmail and mutt)

I found the following, but doesn't seem to work(below)

mail -s "some subject" user1@domain.com

I want to incorporate this into a script but when I enter it
at the commandline it acts like it is needing more.

Thanks,
-Rick
