This is evidently too much work compared to its other Linux counterparts. With the technology that we have right now, why don't the makers just make everything easier for the users?

For example, installing the "mailutils" package on Debian install the "mail" program.

I've found an article that gives the solution how to get it from powershell. The problem here is the "." between MediaTypeName. You have to replace it by a "+". This gives for a jpeg: [Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames+Image]::Jpeg This gives you just a string back: "image\jpeg" About the Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames classes in powershell.

I agree that it is a simple function and should be part of the shell and it is in V2. And just to be nitpicky, I don't believe that mail in Linux is an "OS" command, but part of the shell installed. Also, mail didn't first surface as a shell command until about V6 of AT&T's Unix (per the mail man page), so V2 isn't that bad. Gregory,

Sending email is a such basic function, a simple and quick method of sending it SHOULD be part of powershell.

Also, you don't have to go through those steps every time, you could wrap that in a script or function (which is one of the points of a shell language anyway.. solve the problem once and reuse the functionality).

So there is no Linux equivalent mail command in Powershell? In Linux you could just get-whatever "stuff" | mail -s "This is subject" user@exapmle.com Way too much work.
