You can run mate successfully by going through osascript (the  
connection restriction is enforced by Distributed Objects, I don't  
really think it's intentional), e.g.:

    ssh simplit.com "osascript -e 'tell app \"Terminal\" to do shell  
script \"mate\"'"

But to have it edit stdin (from ssh's POV), it gets more complex, e.g.:

    <file ssh simplit.com "cat >/tmp/dummy.txt; osascript -e 'tell  
app \"Terminal\" to do shell script \"mate </tmp/dummy.txt\"'" >newfile
