I was able to do the above with a very small modification, i.e. enclose the
argument to sh in quotes:
sh "ls -l netlist.v | Mail -s \"Netlist-completed\" $USER"
The reason you have to do this is because of the phrase Netlist-completed
in quotes. The following will also work:
sh ls -l netlist.v | Mail -s Netlist-completed $USER
