I suspect Windows command-interpreter croaks on that one...

>type file.txt | bb ipaddr - 

and the bb.exe doesnt work that way: It then sends each line
of input as a separate message.


I've had a similar problem, and created a slightly modified "bb"
utility for bbgen/Hobbit. You'll find a Windows binary at
http://www.hswn.dk/~henrik/bb.exe - it requires Cygwin. That 
should allow you to do

bb ipaddr "@" <file.txt

and it will send a multi-line message combined into a single 
message.
