Most probably, you need to do a POST (to login), save the cookies and follow
the location to the new page and then do a second POST to send off the
message.

At least I think that's a reasonable assumption.

The Art Of Scripting HTTP Requests Using Curl:
  http://curl.haxx.se/docs/httpscripting.html

The curl man page:
  http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html

And the MANUAL document:
  http://curl.haxx.se/docs/readme.curl.html

There is no shortcuts for doing this. You need to read up, test it, read more,
test more and so on.

If you setup your own web pages to test your curl operations on, you might
learn the tricks faster.
