Not only that, Rick was (ostensibly) using mutt for a mailer and vi(m)
as an editor. The latter sports a feature that enabled Rick to just
put the calendar for June into the email was the "r!" command. It's a
very useful feature. What it lets you do is to run a command in the
background (here, cal) and paste its output automagically right in the
text you're editing.

Works with anything that sends to stdout.
