GNU Emacs and mp

Some of you may be aware of the mp filter that was made available over
the network a while ago (its purpose is to take UNIX mail files as
input and process them so they will pretty-print to a PostScript
printer). Well, I've been trying to call that from a
call-process-input inside Emacs. If I substitute the command "cat"
for the "mp" command, I get the correct output. Using "mp" as the
command, gives me no output at all. Apparently, mp is doing something
kind of funky with stdin that I can't determine. (I've tried using
full pathnames and shell scripts too with the same effect.)
If anyone out there can offer any help, I'd be much obliged. Please
send me mail as I don't read some of these newsgroups much.
