I am having a problem with the i/o on makemime. If I do this ...

makemime -c auto $1 MIMEFILE makemime -m multipart -a "MIME-Version: 1.0" -o mime1 MIMEFILE

... everything works OK, but when I try to pipe it together using standard input ...

makemime -c auto $1 | makemime -m multipart -a "MIME-Version: 1.0" -o mime1 -

... I get an error message:

ftell: Illegal seek

See 'Building complex MIME encodings' in the makemime man page. The very first example is nearly identical to what you're trying to do, here.
