Sending an email using mutt...
I wanted to send "config.log" to the usergroup that handles open source support for Octave 3.8.0, a programming language as there were build errors.
In order to send an email from unix command line, I am trying to use mutt, and I need a straightforward way of sending emails, as the commands provided
here are only successful in loading an interface where I can edit text, but I cannot quite find a way of sending the email.
I cannot take screenshots of the display on the virtual machine through Windows 10 either, this seems to be missing a shortcut key that only Microsoft/Oracle can tell me how to configure, I have not searched this topic to the technical level as yet to be honest, I just did some desktop research.
See
Oracle VM VirtualBox Keyboard Shortcuts | KB Mode.
These are Windows 10's new keyboard shortcuts | PCWorld.
Do I need to configure mutt as well, or does it automatically send emails to web-based email such as Gmail?
I am using Ubuntu 3.13.0-32-generic on Oracle Virtual Box Virtual Machine.

used to build and send an email message. In the filter mode, calibre-smtp reads a complete email message from STDIN and sends it.
text is the body of the email message. If text is not specified, a complete email message is read from STDIN. from is the email address
of the sender and to is the email address of the recipient. When a complete email is read from STDIN, from and to are only used in the SMTP
negotiation, the message headers are not modified.
Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-smtp that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks.
