sending e-mails through the command line

[David Langschied]

I am not much of a Windows expert. I need to do something in Windows that I
do all the time in Unix.

I want to send e-mails via the command line. I want to send out e-mails
individually via some sort of batch process that will allow me to input the
subject, body, recipient, cc, etc.

In Unix I can do this using elm or sendmail. I need, however, to do this in
Windows, using Outlook 2000 or Outlook Express. Can anyone help?

Personally, I wouldn't use OE or Outlook to do this. I'd simply dig out a
program that allows me to do it (or, well, write it myself).
