True.

That's the script I wrote and use (it's Perl, probably overkill)

[alessio at obi-wan bin]$ cat /usr/local/bin/demime-wrapper
#!/usr/bin/perl
 
my $cmd = join (' ','| /usr/local/bin/demime - |
/home/mailman/mail/wrapper', at ARGV);
undef @ARGV;
open WRAPPER, $cmd or die "Cannot pipe to wrapper: $!\n";
while (<>) {
  print WRAPPER;
}
---------- cut --------

and its use:
foo: "|/usr/local/bin/demime-wrapper post foo"

You have then to put a symlink to /user/local/bin/demime-wrapper in the
smrsh directory.
