`C-u M-| nl RET' might be your friend (for e-mail).

,----[ C-h k M-| ]
| M-| runs the command shell-command-on-region
|    which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple'.
| (shell-command-on-region START END COMMAND &optional OUTPUT-BUFFER
| REPLACE ERROR-BUFFER)
| 
| Execute string COMMAND in inferior shell with region as input.
| Normally display output (if any) in temp buffer `*Shell Command Output*';
| Prefix arg means replace the region with it.  Return the exit code of
| COMMAND. [...]

Bye, Reiner.
