Aaeeiigghh. Why not let the sendmail command read stdin.

If you invoke the script via
pipe ... argv=/path/to/script -f ${sender} -- ${recipient}
Then the -f will already be part of the "$@", therefore
sendmail -i "$@" "$additional_recipient"
would be sufficient to process the message from STDIN.
No tempfile needed. No need to store the message into a variable.
If you determine $additional_recipient based on the content of
the message, you need to be very careful so as not to open up
a gaping security hole.
