Thank you.  It really does help by providing the full context of what 
I'm trying to help do.

That looks like a minimal procmailrc file.  So we're starting from basics.

Please forgive my ignorance of YAMM, I've not done much with it yet.

Will you clarify what you mean by "YAMN client's *outfile*"?  Do YAMN 
clients post outgoing messages to a local file and rely on you sending 
that somehow?  Do they not do their own SMTP, directly or indirectly?

Depending on where the YAMN outfile comes from, is it from a YAMN client 
or did it pass through email and a YAMN remailer to end up in procmail's 
care, procmail may not be involved in the YAMN outfile at all.

If I assume that the YAMN outfile is generated locally and you're just 
talking about modifying a text file, then that should be relatively 
simple.  I'd probably use some other unix utility to get the lines 
you've indicated.

I use a sed script to extract sub-sets of files all time at work. 
Something like this might d what you want:

sed -n -e '/^::/p,/-----Begin Remailer Message-----/,/-----End Remailer 
Message-----/p'

This does the following:

  -n don't print lines without a p(rint) command.
  -e use the following commands.
       /^::/p   print lines starting with ::.
       /...Begin.../,/...End.../p   print lines including and between 
...Begin... and ...End...

... used for brevity.

Okay.  I think I understand what you're wanting there.  I need to see 
sample input and sample desired output.  I'm sure once we have the 
munging down, we can figure out how to integrate it with things.
