Your program has to stuff them with input interactively or else fill out their form. If I were fixing the news/MH bridge, I would add two flags to comp that probably should have been there from the beginning: -subj %s (specifies the subject) -to %s (specifies the destination) Then you wouldn't need any mods to news, and certainly news wouldn't have to know about MH specifically as a mailer. Probably an unrecognized argument to comp should be treated as "-to", unless there is some conflicting usage somewhere. Then, you could set MAILER to comp -subj %s -to Mark
