Not sure what you are talking about. This works fine for me:
,----------------------------------------------
C:\>echo This is my body! | blat -of test.of
Blat v3.2.1 (build : May 28 2014 00:35:28)
32-bit Windows, Full, Unicode
Sending stdin.txt to <munged>
Subject: test piping
Login name is <munged>
`----------------------------------------------
The same goes for:
,----------------------------------------------
C:\>blat -of test.of < test.of
`----------------------------------------------
... or when you start a new process from another program and redirect STDIN to that process.
On the other hand: What does the OP mean by "redirect output of a program to a Blat attachment"?
I would like to learn how that is achieved!
