The command:
echo "this is some text" | shellscript abc def ghi

My problem:
How to capture "this is some text" so that I can process it,
I.e. capture to a file.

What I'm attemting to do is process the text echo'd into a file after writing the
parameters passed first. No problem capturing abc, def, ghi into environment
variables. I just can't get the text that's being piped to shellscript. I'm trying to
simulate mail/mailx in shellscript.

Thanks in advance for your help.
