how to specify Subject line with the sendmail command?

Hi All,

I want to send a mail from command line, I am using sendmail command
for the same.

I tried sending mails to myself. I am able to send mails but, i don't
know how to specify Subject line.

I used command
# sendmail -F "Prasad Joshi." -t prasad_jos...@symantec.com <<< "TEST"

This is how the header of the message looked like,
From: Prasad Joshi.
To: undisclosed-recipients : ;
Subject: No Subject
Date: Fri, 19 May 2006 13:06:03 +0530 (IST)

How can Subject line be specified?
How can i specify the From mail ID?
How to specify the Subject?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks & regards,
Prasad.

Hi Prasad,

You can use "mailx" with -s to send messages with subject.

Prasad,
have you tried:
echo "TEST" | mailx -s "Subject" prasad_jos@symantec.com

or if you want to send a file:
mailx -s "Subj" prasad_jos...@symantec.com < file
