why MAIL cannot recognize the DIS file?

the DIS file is in the current dir, but when use MAIL to send this file in one command, it says the error... how come?

$ mail /subject="test" "@maillist"
%MAIL-E-OPENIN, error opening USER$DISK2:"@MAILLIST".; as input
-RMS-F-FNM, error in file name
$ dir *.dis
Directory USER$DISK2:[AAA]
MAILLIST.DIS;1
Total of 1 file.

Re: why MAIL cannot recognize the DIS file?

Hi,

Syntax is:

$ MAIL [filespec] [recipient]

E.g.:

$ mail/subject="test" test.txt "@MAILLIST"

Hi,
you can replace [file] with NL0: [null device]


$ mail /subject="test" nl0: "@maillist"
