-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 the Mail command should allow an EOF eharacter, usually ^D on a line by itself to end a message. This should also work if redirecting a file. There is always an EOF character at the end of every file, so you need to do nothing but save it. Any time a redirected file ends, the input stream is automatically terminated, and the program therefore terminates normally. But if you are not redirecting a file, and you are just typing a message in at the prompt, hit ^D and the program will terminate and send the message.
