You omitted the argument (mailto:address@hidden) on the command line. Do it
exactly as follows:
alpine_helper.pl mailto:address@hidden

I should have added an error-check for this case but I was trying to
keep the script minimal. Remember that when pan calls the script, it
will always add a (long) mailto: as an argument. Since the script is
intended only to be used as a mailer for pan, it has no need to handle
the case of no argument.
