Thanks for the report.  Yes, that's correct, fortunately we can
reasonably expect stdout to be a terminal and the patch below
should fix it.

Btw, since you seem to be a gnus user; does/can gnus work
via --mua= ?

Subject: [PATCH] lei q: fix MUA spawn after reading query from stdin

Since "lei q" may read queries from stdin, we must reconnect a
known terminal before spawning terminal MUAs.  Attempt to use
stdout as stdin for this purpose, since terminal MUAs tend to
expect stdout to be a terminal.
