Oooh, /that's/ a feature. I didn't know you could pass arguments on a -f
line...
Anyway, you need to quote the value as a string, not pass it as a
symbol. So:
$gnuclient -f "mail \"xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org\""
just tried that
mail didnt have the to address
but if i do
$gnuclient -f "vm-mail \"xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org\""
it does
thanks daniel :)
