Thank you for all the answers. It appears that the coding was the problem. We typed the command and it works.
There may be another problem, if so I will open another thread.
Regards,
Michael

The commands listed above all look good, except that the supposed hyphen
with the latter three options, and the quotation marks are not right.
Notice the hyphen before "-body" and "-to" is different than the hyphens for
your other three options. Make sure to use a correct DOS-type hyphen with
your command line. Likewise, make sure the double quotes are DOS-type
quotes and not like what you have above. One problem with using Word (or
its derivations) is that Word likes to make things look pretty by changing
the characters you visually see. Notepad can be one of your best friends to
find out if the command prompt uses actual ASCII characters or if you're
about to try using Unicode characters.
The command line from above should be like this:
blat -body "Test Mail" -to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> -s "Test" -server
email3.xxx.yyy.com -f [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
