The answer is no, it is not possible to get the subject from stdin.  You can
pipe the message body into Blat, but not the subject.

You did not say which version of Blat you are using, but the latest version
should handle your diacritics just fine if you write them to a Unicode or
UTF-8 file, and use the -sf option to read the subject from a file.
