[Adding comp.lang.perl.misc because this is now partly a Perl question
as well as an Emacs question. I hope this doesn't offend anyone.]

Doh! It's so easy to forget emacs's command-line processing.
Now I know why
$ emacs -f mail-mode foo.mail
didn't seem to do anything!
I think I'm on the right track now, but I'm having problems with the
fact that the Perl program reads STDIN, processes it and stores the
results in a temp file. When the Perl program gets to this line:
my $status = system('emacs', '-nw', $temp_file, '-f mail-mode');
Emacs produces this error:
standard input is not a tty
and doesn't run. If I add the --batch option to the emacs command,
emacs runs and quits (it doesn't come up interactively), so that's not
the solution.
