Unable to populate subject field of the email while using sendmail
Hi,
Can anyone kindly provide some information about how to populate the subject field of the email while using the sendmail utility ? Itried the following command line argument :
HTML Code:
echo -e "Body of the email" | /usr/lib/sendmail -f from@from.com -t to@to.com -s " Subject of the email"
While running this, although the mail reaches with the body as mentioned,but the subject field remains blank.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
