[bug-mailutils] can't get mail to stop prompting me

[Mark Gilmore]

hi,
i am trying to send an email:
        mail -s test -m test address@hidden
but the pgm keeps prompting me and will not respond to a ctrl-d
or any other key (just keeps inputing the keys).
any idea ?

perhaps there are multiple versions of "mail" ???

is there a verbose mode - any way of seeing what's happening ?

any way to send an email without user interaction ?.
this warns about a "null message body" (though i thought "-m" denoted it),
but does not seem to do anything (can't really tell).

thanks,
