Hi Yann,

No problem.

Sure. You may consult "man mail" on your unix machine to get a manual page for your specific mail command's options.

On my system for example, I can issue:

echo "Hello, this is some silly test message" | mail -s "Silly test" myadress_at_email.com

Which means, writing "Hello, this is some silly test message" in the message body and sending the message to "myadress_at_email.com", including the subject "Silly test".

So, if you get some output of e.g. SQL*Plus, you can "pipe" ( "|" is called pipe sign) the output directly to "mail", which handles the procedure of building and sending the mail to your local MTA (mail transfer agent).
