From a (very) quick reading of 'man mail' it appears that at least bsd-mailx does not support this, but I didn't check the other implementations[1]. What are you trying to achieve? If you want to send mail from scripts maybe you should use postfix' version of /usr/sbin/sendmail. If you need a more capable command-line mailer mutt is a very good choice. [1] 'apt-cache search mailx' finds bsd-mailx, heirloom-mailx and mailutils Kind regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
