if i wanted to have the same results as my command above

but wanted to do it so it didn't consume memory for storage

and i didn't want to manage files

what might a good alternate strategy be

is there a replacement for mail that uses file storage

From "man 7 pipe":

"the capacity can be queried and set using the fcntl(2) F_GETPIPE_SZ

and F_SETPIPE_SZ operations. See fcntl(2) for more information."

Reality check: are you saying that you are concerned by the memory usage

of storing the output of your command but want to send it by mail? Are

there exceptional constraints that we do not know about?
