That sort of thing will only work with cgi data - I need to be able to
literally pipe in a file, ie: my script needs to be able to handle
(contrived example time..)
cat an_email | myscript.r
An email forwarder on my site does:
[address--starforge--co--uk] -> |/home/starforg/..../scgi-bin/scriptname.r
which does basically the same thing - emails sent to [address--starforge] are
piped into the rebol script.
Using copy would work fine (aside from security implications) if it didn't
stick each line in a separate string. :/
