How can I work on my mail messages while in MUSH using some UNIX
commands that do not accept stdin?

E.g., I'd like to use ispell, mhvac (a perl program which strips
out certain headers, which I've modified to take in regular files),
etc.  These programs have in common that they rewrite the file
they are working on.

Thanks.

Lester
