Hey Michael,
My MUA believes you used Mutt/1.3.27i
to write the following on Tuesday, September 17, 2002 at 7:06:32 PM.

Works just like you said... I just tested using type instead of copy.

| #!perl
| # This file is T:\t.pl
| use strict;

| system("cmd /c type T:\\t.pl");
| system('cmd /c type T:\t.pl');
