and if you wanna hide the list of people that the invite is going out to...
a. create a file /etc/mail/party.lst
and create a description ( mail contents ) party.decription.txt
b. add an entry to /etc/aliases
party: :include:/etc/mail/party.lst
- run newaliases
c. crontab
# on the first of the month
10 0 1 * * mutt -s "Party time" party -a
/etc/mail/party.description.txt
- might wanna undo the "party" alias if yu do not expect any mails
to go back and forth thru "party"
