[SATLUG] sending a mail message with nail using script

I have this script:

tar cfvj $(date +%m%d).tar.bz2 files/
echo "archive for $(date +%m%d).tar.bz2 attached" > send_archive.txt
nail my_email at email.com -v -s "umod archive for $(date +%m%d).tar.bz2"
	-a $(date +%m%d).tar.bz2 -q send_archive.txt
rm send_archive.txt

The problem is that it goes into interactive mode.  I did a "man nail"
and could not find a non-interactive option, though it does mention it.
