Well, what I meant was that I was hoping to avoid writing a C program, or
whatever -- something that has to be compiled. I'm trying to stick with
basic Unix commands, because I would like anyone on Unix to be able
to run my script with a minimum of effort -- just to send them a
shell script and have them pipe mail to it.
To separate header & body, it would be enough if I could locate the
first line which doesn't have a colon -- so if I can write a regular
expression to locate that line I'd be on my way. I could probably do the
rest just with basic Unix commands.
