Don't expect much if you put that kind of restriction on it (I consider
writing a shell script to be writing a program). However, the "deliver"
package (maybe even procmail) can probably do what you want if you're
willing to write a little shell script to implement your processing
steps. It separates the header and body of mail messages and provides a
utility that parses headers. Then your script just outputs the desired
delivery address to stdout and exits. Deliver does the rest. Look for
deliver on any comp.sources.unix archive.

What about /^$/ ? Beginning of line (^) immediately followed by end of
line ($).
BTW, what you want to do would almost be trivial in Perl, given the Mail
modules. But that would require writing a program.
