[R] multiline system call

[Nicolas Mazziotta]

Hello,

I am trying to call sendmail from within R via system(). As sendmail reads 
from STDIN, I need to pass a multiline input as an argument.

E.g. (not working):

	system('sendmail -f xxx at swing.be -t yyy at swing.be\ntest\n.\n')

I tried a lot of ways to type the EOL characters, but cannot get them work the 
right way. This leads to several problems. For instance, R waits for me to 
enter <control-D> at the end of the sequence.

Thanks for any help.
