I want to create a semi-automated email, where the body of the email is supplied from a text file. The email is created using bash script that is launched from a desktop icon. My system is Linux Mint. This works quite well except that if the email body contains commas then everything from the comma on-wards does not appear. For example if the email body should be "Hello Fred, In response to your email of the...", what appears is "Hello Fred". I have tried changing the HTML/Text settings in Thunderbird, but to no avail. Have also tried creating an email from the terminal, but again the result is the same. I would very much appreciate some guidance with this.
