That may be the ticket.  I'll have to test it.  I need to grab the from
address from the headers but I could then have formail do the stripping
for me later in the program.

while(<STDIN>) {
  $data .= "$_";
}

# Grab info from headers
open FORMMAIL, "| formail -I \"\" |";
print FORMMAIL $data;
$data = "";
while(<FORMMAIL>) {
  $data .= "$_";
}
close FORMMAIL

That is just an idea above.  I'll have to test it.
