It even appears to be fairly portable. BSD xargs also has -o, w

Thank you, this solved my problem.
I knew it was a Linux question.

I'd thought he could put the data into a file and then
invoke mutt, something like.
mutt -s $subject_string $delivery_to_string < message_file
At least this works for me when using mailx, but that is a
very different utility than mutt.

Thank you !
I think I now understand, more or less, why it does not work as expected.
Perhaps my question is more about Linux, than about Mutt. What I really
want to achieve is the following:
echo "mydata" | myscript.sh
where myscript.sh is the following:
#!/bin/bash

Dear Mutt Users,
I am not sure if this is a bug of mutt, or my poor knowledge of Linux.
I would expect that this command:
echo mymaildir | xargs mutt -f
be equivalent to:
mutt -f mymaildir
But instead, mutt complains about ``no recipient specified''.
Please help me to figure this out!
