Eric,

	Asterisk could do this very easily:

	exten => s,1,Read(CASENO)
	exten => s,2,Read(ID1)
	exten => s,3,Read(ID2)
	exten => s,4,TrySystem(/usr/bin/mymail ${CASENO} ${ID} ${ID2})
	exten => s,5,Hangup

	Then, /usr/bin/mymail could look like this:

#!/bin/bash

MAILADD=kris at testmail.com

echo -e "$1 \n $3" | mail -s $2 $MAILADD

	The output mail should look like this (with $1 - 3 filled in with the 
values from above):

To: kris at testmail.com
Subject: $2

$1
$3
