   I don't know about sendEmail but for mailx this should work:   
      
   Sendtheshhtuff="eval mailx -r mydeadcat@fakedomain.ddns.net \   
                               -s $WhoBeI \   
                               myname@fakedomain.ddns.net \   
                               < Da_message.msg"
