If you can think of a platform-portable way to rewrite the line:
echo "${ac} - ${def}" | /usr/athena/bin/mhmail sipb-whats@mit.edu -subject "New acron entry: ${ac}"
then people would probably be happy with you.
Unfortunately, mail programs are in all different places, and not
all support the -s flag...
