You aren't being very clear about what you do and don't want, but in any
case, try this:

Example 1:

`echo "Here is my message" | /usr/sbin/sendmail name@domain.com`

Example 2:

`echo -e "From: me@mydomain.com\nSubject: This is a test\nHere is my message
text." | /usr/sbin/sendmail recipient@server.com`

The point is you can pipe all the required information to sendmail, one way
or another. You could also use "popen" instead of the above approach.
