sendmail isn't in my path, I had to specify the path name to find it.
Hmm, we could have "MAILER_PATH" to find it. I can change that.

Actually, what we should also add is the format to print it out.

MAIL_COMMAND = echo \'Subject: $SUBJECT\n\n$MESSAGE\' | sendmail -t ${MAILTO}

Note the difference between $SUBJECT, $MESSAGE and ${MAILTO}. When we
have ${FOO} that is a variable the user controls. But $FOO is a
variable that is hard coded for certain commands.

That may be better to have.

Here's my latest total diff:
