Ok, so 

1) I have a message selected in the summary area, and it's displayed
   in the message area, and

2) I have an action defined as "| perl myscript.pl" (see below), then

does the perl script get the whole message, including the header
parts?  Because my script doesn't seem to be able to find the
"Subject:" line to parse out the applicant's email address.

Here's the (test) script I'm using:

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# nescbwi.pl
#
# Send a message to the email address of the person applying
# to join the NESCBWI mailing list.
#
# pfd = Peter Davis, [email protected]
#
# History:
#  2002/12/23 pfd  First pass.
#
$home = $ENV{'HOME'};
$temp = $ENV{'TEMP'};
my $wannabe = "";
while (<>) {
    ($hdr, $val) = split(/:/);
    if ($hdr eq "Subject") {
        $val =~ s/.*\s<?([^\s]+@[^\s>]+)>?.*/$1/;
        print "Applicant: $val\n";
        $wannabe = $val;
    }
}
chop $wannabe;
($uname, $domain) = split(/@/, $wannabe);

# Check the user's name ...
print "Hi, $wannabe!\n";
system("\"C:\Program Files\Sylpheed-Claws\bin\sylpheed.exe\" --compose \"$wannabe\"");
