    You need to use the following command to send mail on linux command line : $ from > The from utility prints out the mail header lines from the invoker’s mailbox. To send a message to one or more people, type message but you need press 'control-D ' at the beginning of a line.

    pine is text based program for reading electronic mail under UNIX operating systems.Pine sport s a full-screen interface and a context-sensitive list of commands on each screen. It is text-based, so it will run even on old and slow computers and over slow internet connections. It is menu-driven, so it is easy to learn to use. It works well for receiving and sending mail.
