Yeah something like:

  action = empty mess; \
         add mess message; \
         add mess moremessage; \
         copy mess %m; \
         shellcmd /path/to/script "destination" "subject" "%m"

or

  action = eval %m (return "message\nmoremessage"); \
         shellcmd /path/to/script "destination" "subject" "%m"

are what I would try. Alternatively rewrite your script to accpet the
message on stdin and use:

  action = empty mess; \
         add mess message; \
         add mess moremessage; \
         report mess /path/to/script "destination" "subject"

which may be safer depending on what your messages are and how they are
constructed.
