Buddha help me.

You are still lacking the "good stuff" in what I'd end up saving
in a separate file and applying, which is the attachment part...

... but that is a minor detail.  I can survive.

I do not understand what this test-colon is doing?  Did you mean

	if ! : >"$P1" 2>&1
        then
		...
	fi

I would have written it like this, to check if it really
succeeded creating and also we can remove it.

	: >"$P1" 2>&1 && test -f "$P1" && rm -f "$P1" || {
		...
	}
