This DOES gmail:smtp BUT...

[Avoi...@gmail.com]

Subject: bash re-direction?

This is not what's normaly refered to by bash re-direction,
but I don't know what to call it.

It's about `echo` & `cat`

It's about "he said, she said, he said", when several processes are
'cascaded'. It's not obvious who is talking.

BTW if you've also been sweating-blood to get gmail to
smtp NON-http, this finally did it for me:
openssl s_client -connect smtp.gmail.com:465 -crlf -ign_eof
BUT!!
Who's talking to the remote server, after I enter that line in bash?

Is `openssl` outputting to the inetStak and inputting from the keyboard.
BUT!!
When I wrap the dialog in `expect`, the last stage: after `DATA`
doesn't echo any more. But when I keyin/paste, each stage
gives the echo-confirm and the email arrives.

Obviously, I want to wrap my email-body to send with one action.
How would I do that?

I've just remembered that I've got a bash-scrip from <?Jonston?>;
so I'll see if that explains it.

== TIA.
