A way to mail source files easily
in reply to the person wanting to send pacman source files to someone
more than one system remote: here is a shell that will do it for you,
sending the file with a header telling the file name (so that the person
puts in where make or something can find it). It is standard v7 UNIX shell
but very simple:

who=$1
shift
while [ -n "$1" ]
do
       echo "******* $1 *******" >TMP
       cat TMP $1 | mail $who
       shift
done

it is invoked as '(name of shell) (to whom) (files)':
       example : 'smail harpo!whuxlb!eric *' will send all files
to eric with headers.   replies ----> harpo!whuxlb!eric
