This is from the blat Read me file.

USAGE:

syntax:
Blat <filename> -t <recipient> [optional switches (see below)]
Blat -install <server addr> <sender's addr> [<try>[<port>[<profile>]]] [-q]
Blat -profile [-delete | "<default>"] [profile1] [profileN] [-q]
Blat -h [-q]

-install <server addr> <sender's addr> [<try n times> [<port> [<profile>]]]
: set's SMTP server, sender, number of tries and port for profile
(<try n times> and <port> may be replaced by '-').

<filename> : file with the message body ('-' for console input, end with ^Z)
-t <recipient>: recipient list (comma separated)
-s <subj> : subject line
-f <sender> : overrides the default sender address (must be known to server)
-i <addr> : a 'From:' address, not necessarily known to the SMTP server.
-c <recipient>: carbon copy recipient list (comma separated)
-b <recipient>: blind carbon copy recipient list (comma separated)
-o <organization>: Organization field
-h : displays this help.
-q : supresses *all* output.
-noh : prevent X-Mailer header from showing homepage of blat
-noh2 : prevent X-Mailer header entirely
-p <profile> : send with SMTP server, user and port defined in <profile>.
-server <addr>: overrides the default SMTP server to be used. (optionally, server:port)
-port <port> : port to be used on the server, defaults to SMTP (25)
-hostname <hst>: select the hostname used to send the message
-mime : MIME Quoted-Printable Content-Transfer-Encoding.
-uuencode : Send (binary) file UUEncoded
-base64 : Send (binary) file using base64 (binary Mime)
-try <n times>: how many time blat should try to send. from '1' to 'INFINITE'
-attach <file>: attach binary file to message (may be repeated)
-attacht <file>: attach text file to message (may be repeated)

Note that if the '-i' option is used, <sender> is included in 'Reply-to:'
and 'Sender:' fields in the header of the message.

EXAMPLES:

Blat -install smtphost.bar.com foo@bar.com // Sets host and userid
Blat -install smtphost.bar.com foo // Sets host and userid
Blat -install smtphost.bar.com // Sets host only

Blat myfile.txt -s "A file for pedro" -t foo@bar.com
// Sends a file with subject line "A file for pedro"

Blat myfile.txt -s "A file for pedro" -t foo@bar.com -q
// Sends a file with subject line "A file for pedro" and does not print
// informative messages on the console

Blat myfile.txt -s "A file for mark" -t fee@fi.com -f foo@bar.com
// -f option overrides the default sender
