That looks quite similar to the sed that I was thinking and wrote in my 
previous reply.

Assuming that this flow is through email*, you would want to create a 
procmail filter to match the specific messages you want to act on, and 
then call your sed script.  Depending on the complexity of things, you 
may want to move sed and / or it's script into separate file(s) to avoid 
nesting / expansion / escaping complication.

Hum.

This looks like it's a news posting, not an email.  That's fine.  There 
are other ideas here.  Especially if you are wanting messages matching 
specific patterns to automatically go through this process.  }:-)
