X-Mailer: Balsa 1.1.4

I figured balsa would be able to read from a pipe as pine does. Don't see
that listed as a feature and don't see it in the FAQ, so you'll probably
need to resort to a name fifo as Nick suggested.

BTW, while rummaging through the FAQ they mentioned something about being in
the GUI. Does that mean there's a way to not be in the GUI with balsa?
Specifically, is there a text-only mode?
