It should look like:
$email = "/bin/sendmail";
$to = "kmaynard@mac.com";
$subj = "A test message";
$body = "This is the body of the message";
$hdr = "Reply-to: me@qwerty.com";
mail ($email, $to, $subj, $body, $hdr);

So where would the To: address go if not $email? I thought the proper
syntax was: mail(Email_Address_of_Recipient, Title_of_Email,
Body_of_Email, Headers);
