The execution of a script generates a text file (FILE1).  I want the
script to mail that file to somebody (USER1). I currently am using this:

mail $USER1 <FILE1

This works, but I want to include a subject line and have been
unsuccessful at achieving this.  Any help posted here or mailed to me
would be appreciated.....

: mail $USER1 <FILE1

I use mailx(1) instead of mail:

/bin/mailx -s "Subject here" $USER1 < FILE1

Just include at the top of FILE1 a
Subject: subject
line, followed by an empty line.
