The sendmail command expects to read a well-formed, RFC 2822-formatted,=20
E-mail message, that consists of one or more headers, followed by a singl=
e=20
blank line, then a message body.

Supplying just the body of an E-mail message, without the preceding heade=
rs=20
and a blank line, will not work.
