Regarding
`pipe [MSGLIST] [SHELL-COMMAND]'
`| [MSGLIST] [SHELL-COMMAND]'
Pipe the contents of specified messages through SHELL-COMMAND. If
SHELL-COMMAND is empty but the string variable `cmd' is set, the
value of this variable is used as a command name.
You had better tell them to quote the command if there are any
arguments!
| head
works but
| head -33
does nothing!! Wow, why?
Need
| "head -33"
