Tom-

I tried the double quotes earlier to noavial. The command, run from within
filePro, is giving me:

cat /tmp/vacations | mail -s "Vacation Requests" tla at aldridge.com

1) No subject in the email received my the recipient
2) /home/filepro/dead.letter... Saved message in>> /home/filepro/dead.letter
echoed to scren.
