   Really? It would expand to e.g.

        cat >> foo bar homer lisa marge < MailMessage

which I don't think is the intended result.

   Or even

   cd /home
   mail * < MailMessage

or

   cd /var/spool/mail
   mail * < MailMessage

or

   mail `cut -f1 -d":" /etc/passwd` < MailMessage

and so on. The possibilities for (ab)use of shell expansion and
substitutions are endless. Oh yes, see if your mail command supports --.
