Received about 6 responses. (Original post is down below)

4 of which said I should have piped to 'tee' first:
     nmap | tee /tmp/nmap.out | mailx

1 mentioned 'truss', but might not provide enough detail.

1 mentioned that I should have redirected nmap to a file then emailed the
file. That would have been the obvious choice, but of course I wasnt
thinking at the time. :p

I quickly tried 'truss' on nmap but so much data is going past I think
I'll have to grep. truss on mailx shows the process sleeping.

Thanks for the solutions.

Original post: it is.

Original post: I poked around /proc/16615 which is nmap and /proc/16616 which is mailx
Original post: to see if the output was in a "file" in either process, or if the output
