1 /* Run a program that hooks into some other system. The first argument is
2 * name of the hook to use, the second is the full path name of a mail message.
3 * The third argument is also the full path name of a mail message, or a NULL
4 * pointer if it isn't needed. Look in the context for an error message if
5 * something goes wrong; there is a built-in message in case one isn't specified.
6 * Only produce the error message once.
