Question nail set header

Hi all.

I am kind a new in Linux, so please forgive me if some statements will be dumb.
So for some unknown reason server I am working on is using nail command instead of mail and mailx. I have googled around and fined out that it is possible to set mail header using command mail and option -a. But for nail option -a is attaching files. I tried to read nail manual (over 2000 lines), but I haven't found any alternative way to set headder.
If any body knows how to set header using linux mail client - nail, I would be very greatful.

I am using openSUSE 2.6.16.46-0.12-smp x86_64
version of nail: nail 11.25 7/29/05

Thanks in advance
Ricardas

mbot.conf(5)							File Formats Manual						      mbot.conf(5)

NAME
mbot.conf -- mbot configuration file SYNOPSIS
mbot.conf Description mbot.conf is organized in sections where you can associate handlers to mails. When mbot receive a mail, it will search for a section having a name which match the mail subject, then use the associated handler. So the name of the section will depend on the subject to use, and the parameters to be defined in this section will depend on the selected han- dler. Here is a list of available handlers: GoogleHandler Used to perform some search with the well known search engine UrlHandler This one allows to download some url and attach its content to the return mail, with the mime type properly set. NewsHandler You can also send some news (with images) to mbot, it will fill your database with it. Currently supported RDBMs are PostgreSQL and MySQL, so you will have to choose between PgNewsHandler and MyNewsHandler. PipeHandler This one will make mbot call an arbitrary given command! Default and common options For each section we have a common option who's: HANDLER This option define for the current section which Handler will be used. WHITE_LIST Here we define which are the e-mail addresses allowed to use associated Handler. Only e-mails are stored here, like this: name@domain.tld. If no BLACKLIST is defined then the sender MUST be in this list otherwise mail will be rejected BLACK_LIST This list contains blocked emails. If sender is in this list, mbot won't be allowed to handle the request. If BLACK_LIST exists but not WHITE_LIST then every sender who's not in this list will be allowed to use this Handler. The format of the list is: ["email@domain.tld", "email2@anotherdom.tld"]. It's the same as WHITE_LIST. Default options: MBOT_ADDRESS Email address used in the response. LOG_LEVEL Here we tell the Logger which level we want to log to syslog. Those levels are, from lower to higher, emerg - alert - crit - err - warning - notice - info - debug. Handler's options GoogleHandler's options: HOST This is the first for this Handler, it define the host for the searching engine. BASE_URL Define here the string that is usually used by the searching engine. UrlHandler's options: MAILSIZE This option define the maximum mail size while mbot fetch url, sender will receive error message if mail size exceed this value. ATTSIZE For each attachement we define a size behind which mbot will raise an error. NewsHandler's options: HOST This is the FQDN for the database server. DB The name of the database. DB_USER Username to add entry into database. NEWS_TBL Name of the table used by the Handler. NEWS_TBLSQ Name of the sequence table used by the Handler. Usually used with Postgres server's. ATTACH_PATH Used if sender attach an image with his mail, in this directory mbot will resize image to store it as normal and thumb- nail size into database. tnX and tnY These are the options for thumbnail resizing. SITE This is a list in which mbot will select the site according to the receiver email. It will be used to feed the data- base. PHOTO_TBL This option is optionnal, it will be used only if you want to have pictures associated to news. PHOTO_TBLSQ Name of the sequence table used by the Handler for the photo table. Usually used with Postgres server's. Note that there is no option for PipeHandler. Bugs Please report bugs to the authors.
