Question about the mail command

the Mail command should allow an EOF eharacter, usually ^D on a line by itself to
end a message.  This should also work if redirecting a file.  There is always an
EOF character at the end of every file, so you need to do nothing but save it.
Any time a redirected file ends, the input stream is automatically terminated, 
and the program therefore terminates normally.  But if you are not redirecting a
file, and you are just typing a message in at the prompt, hit ^D and the program
will terminate and send the message.
