scheduling tasks with cron

hello there,

i'm learning about task scheduling with cron and all seems hyper exciting, yeppie. But there is a prob:

assume i have a script that needed to be executed at 7am everyday. I could do:

vi mycron
00 7 * * * echo hi mother, i wanna be a script daddy.
:wq

crontab mycron

how can i have the shell send the results to my neighbor's email address at

unixbuddy@hello.com?.

i added mailto: unixbuddy@hello.com in my script but didnt work.

Thanks all very much,
alikun
