Of course not - it's a *pipe*. :)

In the example:

     cat foo | somecommand

somecommand has no way of ever discovering what or where foo is. That's a feature, not a flaw.

I understand that. I guess what I should have said was "Mutt doesn't give me any way to pass a pointer to the message file. All I can do is pipe the contents of the message."

Thanks!
