| 2. saves the output in a temp file and opens it with an emacs
| command.
If you use some well-known extension like ".perl-mail", you could configure
your emacs to load those extensions as mail-mode files:
Add
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.perl-mail\\'" . mail-mode) auto-mode-alist))
to your ~/.emacs.
Then save the temp file to say /tmp/xxx.perl-mail and fire up emacs on that
file via perls system()
system("emacs /tmp/xxx.perl-mail");
| Does the program's output (emacs's input) need to be formatted in
| the normal way for a mail message (with a blank line after the
| headers) or the way it shows up in the Emacs mail buffer (with
| "--text follows this line--" after the headers)?
The temp file would need to contain what a buffer created via C-x m
usually contains (i.e. the "--text follows this line--" marker and all
necessary headers (To, CC, ...)).
Untested, especially the usage of temp file names in /tmp.
