I would like to open emacs in mail-mode on a preformated mail message, ready
to edit as necessary and then send. (This is from a perl script that
gathers the necessary data for the email and composes a draft of the email
to potential authors of a journal I edit.)
My only idea was to try "emacs -f mail-mode tempmail"
It does not do it. It opens the file tempmail in one buffer and starts
mail-mode in a separate background buffer. So I still have to do "M-x
mail-mode" and then respond to a prompt whether I really want to send the
current buffer when I try to send the email.
