-body not working

[Nat Davis]

I'm trying to send a message without using a file for the body of the
message. Below is my command line, I just changed the servername and to
and from names to protect the innocent, also the output of the log file
is included.

blat -body "this is my message body" -server myserver -f myself
-subject "my subject" -to myself -debug -log mylog.txt
Blat v2.4 w/GSS encryption (build : Jan 15 2005 08:32:11)

Blat v2.4 w/GSS encryption (build : Jan 15 2005 08:32:11)
Blat saw and processed these options, and was confused by the last
one...
this is my message body
Do not understand argument: this is my message body

<filename> : file with the message body to be sent
if your message body is on the command line, use a hyphen (-)
as your first argument, and -body followed by your
message [...]

So in your case: blat - -body "this is my message body" -server myserver -f
myself -subject "my subject" -to myself -debug -log mylog.txt

Note the first - followed by a space ;)

Just a general question: How long can the string in -body be; is there some limit?

This is interesting. . .

That is based on the Operating System... It really has nothing to do
with Blat.

Greetings,

The confusion over the Blat send string comes up
often on this board. I've hacked up a little
tool that may make things a little easier to
understand. I'm still a little embarrassed about
how much trouble the first hyphen gave me when
I started to work with Blat.

So let me introduce Write It (WI). The online demo is at;
http://wi.namtog.com/
or
http://333-emachine.servemp3.com/cgi-bin/wi.pl

Download WI from;
http://home.covad.net/~namtog/wi.zip
or

Has anyone made BLAT T-shirts?
