Thanks chunky_monkey!

But Is there any way to &quot;forward&quot; the mail to another user, AFTER the mail has reached the inbox.

I don't have forward on my server. Is it a special installation or fileset? Einstein47

Not sure how .... But I guess you can save the mail with &quot;w&quot; option in the mail program and then mail the file with &quot;<&quot;

unix_prompt:/> mail test@email.com < file1

Thanks!

I would look into installing a more featureful mail client if I were to want to do fancy stuff. Don't reinvent the wheel, I say. Then again if you just want to automate system mailings or something simple you should be able to whip up a script to read/edit your mail file.
