Tim here. Yep, assuming you use mail(1) to read your mail and have
it configured to send mail for you, you should be able create a
template and send mail by creating a shell-script like
$ cat send_thanks.sh
#!/bin/sh
EMAIL="$1"
SUBJECT="$2"
NAME="$3"
GIFT="$4"
mail -s "$SUBJECT" "$EMAIL" <<EOF
Dear, $NAME,
Thank you for the $GIFT you gave us.
Sincerely,
Karen
EOF
With this, you can invoke it with
$ ./send_thanks.sh donor@xxxxxxxxxxx "We love the bucket of cash" "John & Mary Donorston" "big bucket of cash"
and it will send an email to "donor@xxxxxxxxxxx" with a subject of
"We love the bucket of cash", and the body of the email will read
Dear, John & Mary Donorston,
Thank you for the big bucket of cash you gave us.
Sincerely,
Karen
Here's hoping it helps,

Is this program a part of the standard Linux shell therefore likely to be a

Hi folks,
Let me begin by stating that my access to Linux is a shell service,
specifically shellworld.net
what I am seeking is a tool likely to be included that lets me create a
file I will then use as a gift acknowledgment letter sent via email.
What I mean is this.
I have the name and email of a contributor.?? I create the body, but wish
to change slight details, their name, the amount their email etc.
Is there a tool in command line Linux that will provide this sort of
solution?
thanks,
Karen
