Great / I'm using "-file" now.  

My 1 liner is back to to something like:

    dist -whatnowproc ~/Mail/auto_send  -from 'nym moob <address@hidden>' -to 
'"nym moob" <address@hidden>' -fcc resent -cc myaliasfoo -file ~/Mail/sent/bar
        # Adding -annotate does nothing, but I think that is by design / I am 
ok with that.  

Where:

    $ cat ~/Mail/auto_send
    #!/bin/bash
    if [ $mhdraft ] ; then
        # echo mhdraft: $mhdraft mhaltmsg: $mhaltmsg
        # cp "$mhdraft" /tmp/foo
        # env
        set -x
        send -verbose "$mhdraft"
    else
        echo $0: OOPS: mhdraft not set >&2
        exit 1
    fi
