Not related to the announcement in any way, but what is the cat for?
(Perhaps you mean
:0fhw

or something to that effect?)
As far as I can understand, the cat is not merely useless here.
(I would also prefer a quoted copy of my message instead of unquoted;
of course, removing the -b flag from formail takes care of that rather
nicely.)
