Subject: Sending every day...

Hi!
I am wondering if there is a way to have mail sent every day to a 
specific address.... 
What I need to do is mail some thing different everyday to one person and 
what I would like to do is just type it all up every week and run a 
command every morning to send it...?

Also, is there a way to have an automated reply to a specific address?
Wondering if there is a way I can tweak the Unix 'vacation' program
to do this?

Thanks for any help!
Chris

I would use "cron" to run a shell-script that pipes the desired message 
into the standard "mail"-command. You could look into a simple 
application like "calendar".

As far as I know ... this is what "vacation" is made for ! Or do you want 
to give automatically an "intelligent" response, so you can go on 
hollidays and still earn money ?

Sorry, I don't think I understand your intension completely, could you be 
more specific ?
