If mutt is available, that offers a richer set of options, and the ability to sensibly include attachments to the message, with basically the same syntax.

Sendmail works the same way, too, but you need to put the headers in the message yourself.

Code:
sendmail -oi -t <<HERE
From: user@example.net
To: recipient@example.com
Subject: AYBABTU
