yes, but we can't prevent that.  Is there a way to get
mhstore to execute arbitrary code provided by the message?

It does occur to me that there might be security concerns with using
%a with '|', depending on shell quoting, etc etc (%a inserts all of
the Content-Type parameters).  I don't know how common that is.

Again, that's an issue with '|', not -auto.  I'll remove the
recommendation in the man page not to use -auto, and add one
to not use %a with '|'.  That seems like an odd combination,
though maybe it'd be useful for things like responding to
calendar requests.  Though I wouldn't do that from mhstore.
