Ubuntu Command line email sending

I am trying to send an email to myself.

I have tried sudo apt-get install postfix mailutils followed by

mail -s "This is the subject" --append=FROM:myemail@gmail.com

Then i get:

To:
Cc:
...

I enter the info in the To and Cc spaces followed by pressing enter. But, then it just gives me empty space. I click enter and it just keeps giving me new lines. Then I click ctrl^C twice and it kills the email. I just want to send it.
