Well, this is a useless-use-of-cat and (c|sh)ould be written as
swaks -d - -n -t [EMAIL PROTECTED] < virus.somefool
;-)
uuoc is a matter of personal preference, imho. While *I* try to do
without for simple cases like this one, I prefer uuofc when pipes are
involved
cat file | foo -d -lo -o -p | bar | fasel | frobnicate -v
instead of
foo -d -lo -o -p < file | bar | fasel | frobnicate -v
as it is more readable *imho*.
