Hi

Interesting in that (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0822.txt)

RFC # 822 Obsoletes: RFC #733 (NIC #41952) STANDARD FOR THE FORMAT
OFARPA INTERNET TEXT MESSAGES August 13, 1982 Revised by David H. Crocker

has the example: --------------------
A.3.2. Using some of the additional fields

     Date: 26 Aug 76 1430 EDT
     From: George Jones<Group@Host>
     Sender: Secy@SHOST
     To: "Al Neuman"@Mad-Host,
               Sam.Irving@Other-Host
     Message-ID: <some.string@SHOST>
--------------------------------------------------
I would infer that you should be able to use the
  mail -s "test" "augusta china"@test.com </home/augusta/1.txt

if sendmail conforms to RFC 822 -- maybe something else going on here

Regards
Jim McDonald

No offense intended, but do you guys try these commands before you post
them?

A quick test proves that neither of these work (at least not on AIX 4.3.3)

I'm all for new ways to do things, but please, try before you post.
