Hi David,

Are stdin and stdout required? An `anno -inplace' on an existing
message would seem adequate.

Don't bother backing up stdin, it's transient by definition.

Why not replace all three with rmmproc; I've already got that doing
what *I* want. It's a pain it's not used everywhere as it is without
adding more exceptions.
Cheers, Ralph.
