Hi, back again.

After asking the above question I still kept searching on the web
and I think I found the solution.

You should take a look at 
http://www.math.washington.edu/~chappa/pine/
and try the patch for "Pine sends e-mail from the command line "

It solved my problem and I do NOT have to use sendmail or mailx !!

I have the same issue and have had several suggestions, none of which were
satisfactory. Basically the problem was with the attachments. I likewise
want to script pine to include a text file and an attachment that is just
any old file and let pine decide how to handle the mime. Sendmail and
others on UNIX all split the attached file or encode it differently, or
cause other problems. That's why we like pine in the first place.

Unfortunately in order to solve this problem for an immediate need, I
resorted to doing it in Visual Basic and VBA and using Outlook as the tool
(talk about cumbersome....).

Any other solutions?

Does this put it in your pine sent-mail mailbox?

I would LOVE to have lynx and trn send mail so that a copy was put in
my sent-mail mailbox, but I _also_ wouldn't like to have to enter my 
name/password every time I tried to send mail with one of those programs
(or type ^X to send)...

Does it also meet my requirements above?
