Bug Description
If the --help option is specified and $mail_report_on eq 'always', the $mail_buffer variable is never assigned a value so perl issues an error message:
Use of uninitialized value $mail_buffer in string at /usr/bin/
Since it is doubtful that a mail report is desired if --help is specified my solution was to add
$mail_report_on = 'never';
as the first line on the help() subroutine.
