Sending Email using terminal on macOS Sonoma 14.5

Per your example, the someone@me.com needs to be in quotes:

Example:

echo "Hello World" | mail -s "Test email" "someone@me.com"

After testing, it works either way on my system using Sonoma 14.5 on an M1 iMac. I'm also using bash in terminal as opposed to zsh.

The only difference I can see is that I sent the email to a hotmail account. Also, when I use the syntax as you provided, there is no other response from terminal. It just executes. Then I check my hotmail account and see the email from a user by the name of my iMac computer name, with a subject of Test email, and the email contents of Hello World. I just now tried the same exact thing to my gmail account. I received no errors in Terminal but the email never showed up in my gmail inbox. Weird. (PS - I double checked the Junk folder too and it's not there either)
