R has packages for almost everything, so there is "sendmailR" ....

The various suggestions seem kind of complex to me, at least on a
unix-like system (including Mac OS X).
This is what I do:
sink('tmp.txt')
cat('This is the body of the message\n')
sink()
system('cat tmp.txt | mail -s "A test email" macque...@llnl.gov')
One could probably avoid the temporary external text file using
connections, but I haven't had that need.
For attachments, the following approach works on at least some systems
(RHEL for one):
pdf('temp.pdf')
## create a plot
dev.off()
sink('tmp.txt')
## print() and cat() commands
sink()
cmd<- '/bin/mailx -s "Subject line text"
-a temp.pdf -S replyto=macque...@llnl.gov
recipi...@some.host< tmp.txt'
system(cmd)
It's not hard, of course, to wrap such a thing up in a function with
arguments for various elements such as the subject, the file names, the
email address(es), and then construct the cmd using paste().
