Locactions of two files – list of recepients and the body of the message – can be either specified on the command line or will be taken from default values hardcoded in the script.<\/p>\n
Run the script as:<\/p>\n

\r\nYou There,you@there.org\r\nHim Somewhere,him@somewhere.net\r\n<\/pre>\nMessage body file should contain all your HTML, CSS, JavaScript and whatever else is that you want to send. Here is an example file for you:<\/p>\n
