-# This script reads a block of message headers on stdin, and converts them
-# to an emacs-lisp string (quoting all dangerous characters) and then
-# uses the `gnudoit' program to cause a running Emacs process to invoke
-# the `bbdb-srv' function with that string.
-#
-# This has the effect of causing the running Emacs to display the BBDB
-# record corresponding to these headers.
-#
-# See the Emacs side of things in bbdb-srv.el for more info.
-#
-# A trivial application of this is the shell command:
-#
-# echo 'From: Jamie Zawinski <jwz@netscape.com>' | bbdb-srv.perl
-#
-# which will cause the corresponding record to be displayed.
-# A more interesting application of this is:
-#
-# setenv NS_MSG_DISPLAY_HOOK bbdb-srv.perl
-#
-# which will hook BBDB up to Mozilla (Unix Netscape Mail and Netscape News
-# versions 3.0b2 and later only.)
-#
-# -- Jamie Zawinski <jwz@netscape.com>, 25-apr-96

-# spawn in the background and return to the caller immediately.
