mail client for usage in shell scripts, using the thunderbird configuration?

[Joachim Backes]

Hi all,

normally, I use thunderbird for email purposes. Now, I need a cli
interface for usage inside of shell scripts (for sending emails).

I know that I can use mutt, but then I need to configure it. Brr!

Question: Is there an email client, using the thunderbird configuration,
but fully running inside a shell script (piping,...) without GUI?

All advice is welcome.

Kind regards

Not related to Thunderbird configuration, but I use this to send emails
from scripts and programs:

Thanks Frank. Runs, and really simple to configure.
