mail from command prompt???

[lblauen]

In unix I can send a email with the
command mail -s "test" me.com. I need to do this in windows. On the unix system I run scripts and when they are complete they send me a email. How can I do this in windows?? I run bat files and other cmd files when they complete I want a email. Any ideas??????

You can do this in a windows Environment. However it is not as simple as with unix. You can use telnet to connect to a smtp server and send an email.

There are also 3rd party progs that will send from a command line, such as BLAT:

which I have used and it works very well. It provides extensive support for cc/bcc/attachments/reply to etc etc or it can be as simple as you like.
