Thanks all, I figured out my problem with your leads.  I didn't have a
submit.cf and mailx recognizes the -s option (mail doesn't).

'/usr/bin/mailx -s "subject" email_address' now works perfect however I'm
now seeing that the detail information in the email is being truncated, but
I'm going to submit a new post for that issue.
