My holly crontab gave me an error this morning.  Last night I added the
line:

0 0 * * * elm -s "Daily Comics" carheden <comics.txt

to mail myself the URL's of my favortie comics contained in the file
comics.txt in my home directory.  This line works just fine from the
command line, but my crontab gave me the error:

bsh: elm: not found

*************************************************
Cron: The previous message is the standard output
      and standard error of one of your cron commands.

Any ideas of how to fix this would be appreciated.  Thanks.
