I don't know about JTMAIL, but I just downloaded the free MAIL from
Telamon's ftp server, at: ftp://ftp.telamon.com/dist/mail.nm.wrq
(or, for a non-WRQ-labels version: ftp://ftp.telamon.com/dist/mail.nm).

Here's what you see when you run it with no arguments:

  MAIL(nm): 25Sep97-09:24 (A.01.37) MPE/iX
  Telamon, Inc. (C) 1994, 1997
  Usage:
  :MAIL "-t to [-c cc] [-b bcc] [-f from] [-h host] [-s 'subject']  &
  :     [-i] [-v] [-p] [-q] [-m file | text]"
     -t     - 'To:' address {may be repeated}
     -c     - 'Cc:' address {may be repeated}
     -b     - 'Bcc:' address {may be repeated}
     -f     - 'From:' address
     -h     - SMTP host system
     -s     - 'Subject:' info
     -i     - Interactive (prompting) mode
     -v     - Verbose mode
     -p     - Purge '-m' file when done
     -q     - Suppress delivery confirmation msg
     -m     - File to be mailed
     text   - If '-m' not specified, use as mail message
  In batch, '-m $stdlist' will cause the current spool-file to be read and sent.
  Defaults from system variables:
     MAILSMTPHOST -> host
     MAILFROM     -> from
     MAILSUBJECT  -> subject
  If an SMTP host isn't specified, the first 'To' address's host will be used.
  If no 'From' option is specified, 'racecar' will be used.



A sample usage from batch is:

   mail "-t [log in to unmask] -h mymailer.com -s BoostHP3000 -m reasons.pub.good3000"

Note: program expects a blank after the option (e.g., "-sBoostHP3000" isn't a
valid subject specification).

I've tried it, it works, and I'm now using it to email me from a batch program!

I also did:

   :sh
   ln -s /TELAMON/PUB/MAIL /usr/local/bin/mail

Note: The Telamon MAIL program must be in a group with PM capability.
