stdin can't be guaranteed to be seekable, so for portability we should read it into a StringIO object and use that as the underlying `file-like input'. Can you tell me what else breaks? A quick grep through the source shows that mailcmd is probably broken (i.e. yourlist-request I'll bet doesn't work). I'll check in some patches for that next.
