As I said before, using cat to send the contents of your chosen file to the mail utility is grossly inefficient and in this case is generating an error that could have been easily avoided if you had followed my suggestion in post #3 in this thread.

In addition to that there is nothing in your find command that has anything to do with finding a file with today's date.

If you would give us clear details about the names and locations of the files from which you want to select today's file(s), how you determine that a file is today's file (Is it part of the name of the file? Is it the last modification timestamp of the file? Is it the last access timestamp of the file? ...), we might be able to make some meaningful suggestions. If you keep us in the dark, all we can do is treat the symptoms indicated by the error messages you are describing to us. Fixing those symptoms might or might not lead you to something that will do what you are trying to do.

Please help us help you.

calendar

CALENDAR(1)						      General Commands Manual						       CALENDAR(1)

NAME

       calendar - reminder service

SYNOPSIS

       calendar [ - ]

DESCRIPTION

       Calendar consults the file `calendar' in the current directory and prints out lines that contain today's or tomorrow's date anywhere in the
       line.  Most reasonable month-day dates such as `Dec. 7,' `december 7,' `12/7,' etc., are recognized, but not `7 December'  or  `7/12'.	On
       weekends `tomorrow' extends through Monday.

       When  an argument is present, calendar does its job for every user who has a file `calendar' in his login directory and sends him any posi-
       tive results by mail(1).  Normally this is done daily in the wee hours under control of cron(8).

FILES

       calendar
       /usr/lib/calendar to figure out today's and tomorrow's dates
       /etc/passwd
       /tmp/cal*
       egrep, sed, mail subprocesses

SEE ALSO

       at(1), cron(8), mail(1)

BUGS

       Your calendar must be public information for you to get reminder service.
       Calendar's extended idea of `tomorrow' doesn't account for holidays.
