This got me to thinking.

I've dug out one of my old script files and come up with this.
Problem is I can't get the report into the message body,so I've had to
stick into the subject line.

Can anybody spot what I've done wrong to get the report into the message
body.

I've sanitized the user name and email domains and echo (echo "HELO is
one continuous line. 


!/bin/bash
result=`/usr/share/doc/mythtv-docs-0.21/contrib/misc_status_info/myth_upcoming_recordings.pl --recordings -1 --no_show_scheduled --plain_text --heading '<h3>Recording Conflicts</h3>'`

if [ "$result" != "No conflicts." ]
then
    echo "Conflict"
    rm /home/mythtv/conflict.report
#
    echo -n "Date:" > /home/mythtv/conflict.report
    /bin/date >> /home/mythtv/conflict.report
    echo "From:user at domain.com" >> /home/mythtv/conflict.report
    echo "To:user at domain.com"   >> /home/mythtv/conflict.report
    echo -n "Subject:Mythtv Conflict"  >> /home/mythtv/conflict.report
    echo $result >> /home/mythtv/conflict.report
    (echo "HELO domain.com"; sleep 2; echo "MAIL From:user at domain.com";
sleep 2; echo "RCPT To:user at domain.com"; sleep 2; echo "DATA"; sleep
2; /bin/cat /home/mythtv/conflict.report; sleep 2; echo "."; sleep 2;
echo "QUIT"; sleep 2; ) | telnet smtp.domain.com 25
