More specifically compose and automatically send without
the GUI from CMD. I did find the -compose command option
but it pauses in a compose window and requires an action
to send it.

Says you still need to press Send. Bummer.

I have never used this command, but an old DOS trick is to pipe input
from a file:

Maybe this will work.

I once used this many years ago to get a DOS game to autorun for my 3
year old. He was asked "Sound: Y/N? and VGA: Y/N?"

Nice thought, but I don't think that would work with a GUI
which is waiting for a mouse click of the Send button.

It worked for that DOS game because, for one, it's DOS and
also, it's waiting for text input.

Thanks for your efforts nonetheless.

Pity. You said "without GUI" so I assumed it was *all* DOS.

What I meant was being to use the command line to send an email
via Thunderbird (because all SMTP server, username, password, etc.
config is already defined), but without having to "click" on
the resulting GUI that comes up using the -compose option.

If I do use MailSend, I must specify the username/password
inside of the batch script.
