Usage

Use any capable laitos daemon to send an email:

laitos will then reply to the command with number of characters of the email body content, or sending in background if it takes longer than usual to deliver the email.

Be aware that email subject is surrounded by double quotes, therefore the subject itself may not contain double quote.
