using /usr/bin/mail on Ubuntu 18.04

[Jerry Geis]

Hi

I am trying to do something like:
echo "" | mail myemail at myemail.com

This just hangs... Weird right.

So I tried:

mail myemail at myemail.com
I got prompted for CC
I got prompter for Subject
I then entered both above - and a short body
on the far left I entered just the . and hit enter
nothing - it does not send ?

What might be happening that mail is not "sending".
Thanks,

Jerry
