Well, yes, as long as one is careful of the quoting inside the formail-opts
file, and it does involve an additional call to cat. Martin is right (and I
was wrong) that there does exist a general solution, but I think the way I
suggested earlier is better for Michael's situation because it saves one cat
call.
Thanks for pointing that out, Martin, but please watch your attributions: you
left Michael's words in as I had quoted them, but you edited out his name,
leaving them right under my name, and I'm not the person who wrote them.
