There are a few add-ons for Mozilla available that deal in general with
reading/writing complete messages (i.e. incl. headers), however AFAIK
there is none that would offer a generic interface to just feed data to
stdout and read something from stdin. The main problem is that this is a
particularly difficult task to do in Thunderbird, and only very few
people know how to do it at all.
