It would write to a file called

    `ls /etc| Mail bob@there`

wouldn't it? After all, the backquotes only appear *after* $1 has been
expanded, at which point there's no more work being done:

    $ x='`echo bar`'
    $ echo "$x"
    `echo bar`

Mmm...good point. I should probably fail if any slashes or initial
periods are detected.
