oops!
Authored by: osxpez on May 04, '02 08:42:35AM

I just learned something important about OS X!! It seems it's case insensitive also when it comes to command names. This is truly strange. But it leads to that even if you name the script Mail it risks be confused with /usr/bin/mail. Try "which Mail" without having a script of your own called Mail or mail before /usr/bin/mail in the path...

Anyhow, this means you should name the script something else. Try myMail or some such.
