here-document gives 'unexpected end of file' error

Question

I need my script to send an email from terminal. Based on what I\'ve seen here and many other places online, I formatted it like this:

Answer 1

Please try to remove the preceeding spaces before EOF:-

/var/mail -s "$SUBJECT" "$EMAIL" <<-EOF

Using <tab> instead of <spaces> for ident AND using <<-EOF works fine.

The "-" removes the <tabs>, not <spaces>, but at least this works.
