What is sendEmail?
------------------

SendEmail is a lightweight, completly command line based, SMTP email agent.
If you have the need to send email from the command line, this tool is perfect.
It was designed to be used in bash scripts, Perl programs, and web sites, but
it is also quite useful in many other contexts.  SendEmail is written in Perl
and is unique in that it requires NO SPECIAL MODULES. It has an intuitive and
flexible set of command-line options, making it very easy to learn and use.




------------------
Installation
------------------

SendEmail is a perl script/program, and only needs to be copied to a directory
in your path to make it accessible.  Most likely the following steps will
be sufficient:

1) Extract the package
    tar -zxvf sendEmail-v1.XX.tar.gz

2) Copy the sendEmail script to /usr/local/bin
    cp -a sendEmail-v1.XX/sendEmail /usr/local/bin

3) Make sure its executable
    chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sendEmail

4) Run it
    sendEmail
      or
    /usr/local/bin/sendEmail

NOTES:
  * Running sendEmail without any arguments will produce a usage summary.
  * SendEmail is written in Perl, so no compilation is needed.
  * On a Unix/Linux OS if your perl binary is not installed at /usr/bin/perl
    you may need to edit the first line of the script accordingly.
