Maybe it would help if I explained what I'm *really* trying to do. I
get usenet access by opening an xterm, logging into a server and
running slrn. I really like like slrn except that I can't customize
forwarding articles by e-mail the way I'd like, so I want to bind a
slrn key to a command that just pipes the current article to an
external program.
That external program I want to be a Perl script that puts some stuff
at the beginning of the article, prefaces it with my custom headers,
and then opens it in Emacs in mail-mode (so I can use my ~/.mailrc
aliases and all the other great stuff that Emacs does). Maybe I need
to store the article in a /tmp file then load it into the Perl
program, instead of piping it into the program's STDIN.
