I think that's the right approach, though it could be done in just Mutt
macros too probably...  But in a shell script you can use a temp
filename and check it doesn't exist and all that kind of things.

Just do this:

  cat > $TMPFILE

That'll pipe all of the input into $TMPFILE.  No need to implement any
per-line reading, when you don't really need it. :-)


Hope this helps,
