Actually, assuming you have SMTP listening on a host it's:

Then: system lightmail -m assembled_body_textfile -f quotes at nexusplastics.com 
-r bill at somewhere.com -s "subject" -t smtphost

The syntax would change a little if you wanted to use an MTA executable.
You'd omit -t localhost and use -g "/usr/lib/sendmail -t" to do this,
assuming you were using sendmail.
