Ouch. For various and sundry reasons, this has to be a pipe; I can't
just save it to a file. I was hoping to use that recipients information
to create batched smtp format by hand, with the RCPT TO lines set to the
contents of $recipients. The idea is that if the mail system gets
mangled, the admin can just push the day's records through "exim -bS"
and reproduce everything. Yeah, I know it's silly, but the customer is
always right...

Is it going to be 1.83, 1.9, or 2.0? (And when do we get our grubby
little hands on it?)
