echo "Message" mailx -s "important maail" someone@your.netowrk

elm will do just fine and has an easier to use interface.

X Windows has additional tools, but these are merely front ends.

sendmail/postfix is the default email transmport for HP-UX.

You need connectivity to get the mail through.

/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/nsswitch.conf

host resolution is key unless you use mail relay.

0 for this, Seriously Chris.

Correcting my post

echo "Message" | mailx -s "important maail"
someone@your.netowrk

Missed the pipe command.

Duh. Sunday, too much time spent splitting wood like Paul Bunyan.
