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.
