Subject: Command line use of addressbook

I'm curious to know is there is a way to send mail from the command line 
to a distribution in the addressbook.  I have several scripts that I run 
automatically periodically to mail out FAQs and other things.  
Unfortunately, there is a series of mailing that I end up sending 
manually to a large (~150 person) distribution.  I'm just wondering if 
there is a way to do it from the command line so I can slap it into my 
script and be done with it.

Thanks much.

> script and be done with it.

I have a couple of pine-format mailing lists that I mail to...the one I 
use most is called "og"...

To mail to it I type:

pine og

(I have pine aliased to pine -zi and am using version 3.87 with the 
command line fix from 3.85)

Later...
