Whoops! angle brackets got removed…

clayzer :
Excellent leads for me. Thank you both!
Turned out to get the from header (I use postfix) I needed to type:
mail -s “testing” to@example.com ~h
FROM: from@example.com ^D
CC: ^D

This was just what I needed, thanks. On some mail programs, you have to use ‘-a “FROM: mymail@mail.tld‘” instead of the one above.

Have a nice day!
