mutt: Specify a file to include as the message body.
$ mutt -i ${filename} ${recipient@example-com}
try on your machine

This command runs the Mutt email client with specific options. Let's break it down:

  • mutt is the command to start the Mutt email client.
  • -i is the option to specify an input file containing the email content.
  • ${filename} is a placeholder for the actual name of the file that contains the email content. You would replace ${filename} with the actual file name.
  • ${recipient@example-com} is a placeholder for the recipient's email address. You would replace ${recipient@example-com} with the actual email address.

Overall, this command launches Mutt and instructs it to use the specified file as the input for composing an email. The command also specifies the recipient's email address.
