I found this in 'man mail':
-I Forces mail to run in interactive mode even when input isn't a ter-
minal. In particular, the '~' special character when sending mail
is only active in interactive mode.
but I had no success with it. However, I also found this in 'man sendmail':
-t Read message for recipients. To:, CC:, and BCC:
lines will be scanned for recipient addresses. The
Bcc: line will be deleted before transmission.
So, I have a text file in my home directory, test.txt, that contains "this
is a test." I can then do 'sendmail -t email@hidden < test.txt' in
the terminal from my home directory, and the mail goes out.

At least not that I'm aware of. Love to be proved wrong. :)
