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.
