Now, what could I possibly do to make this work when piping to it, too?
As in

  zcat mailbox.gz | headers

      I didn't try but, instead of the file name (\!:$) use cat:

      alias headers 'cat - | formail ..... -s'

      In some shelles the following will work:

      alias headers 'cat \!:$ | formail ..... -s'

Yes, that's very good.  This also works, both on uncompressed
(regular) and gzipped files:

  alias headers 'zmore \!:$ | formail -I =:::::::= -X "" -20 -s'

But now I lose the ability to add "-c" if desired, again.
