It runs during the actual sending process, so you don't ever actually see
the result of it. Check your sent-mail folder to see what it looks like.

You should use _TMPFILE_. See the Pine docs (available from the main
menu) for info on what special names can be used.
Be sure your script has the execute bit turned on (chmod u+x <filename>).
I specify the absolute path to my script in my Pine config. I don't know
what's actually required.
