That was how I did it in the past, but the problem was that I kept
forgetting in what order to place the four arguments (file with list
of addresses, file with message, subject heading, and, if
appropriate, attachment file).  The two important ones are the
message file and the attachment file, so maybe I should use two
(auto-completed) arguments and then two read prompts for the
list of addresses and the subject line.
