To: you ?†? might be something else (see ?§24.9.81 on page 1060)
This is a one-line message.
* That path might be different on your system. If so, substitute the correct pathname in all the examples that
follow. For example, try looking for sendmail in /usr/lib or /usr/ucblib.
?? We are fudging for simplicity here. If the file contains a line that contains only a single dot, that line will be
treated as though it marks the end of the file. If you need to include such a line as part of literal input, use
the IgnoreDots options (?§24.9.58 on page 1038).

1.5 Basic Parts of a Mail Message | 7
The first thing to note is that this file begins with seven lines of text that were not in
your original message. Those lines were added by sendmail and your local delivery
program and are called the header.
The last line of the file is the original line from your sendstuff file. It is separated from
the header by one blank line. The body of a mail message comes after the header and
consists of everything that follows the first blank line (see Figure 1-1).
Ordinarily, when you send mail with your MUA, the MUA adds a header and feeds
both the header and the body to sendmail.
