Well, I suppose formail ist a perfect program to do remove Headers from
mails, but if you like to learn about pattern-matching and regular
expression in perl, I recommend man perlre
A possible expression for your request is /^(From|Sent|To|Subject):/
The rest of the programm is obvious up to you. If you have troubles with
the rest, just post what you already tried and what problems you
encountered.
At least I always support socialism if he really seems to try :)
best,
peter

| You guys are quick. I was going to modify it. This is what I got from
the html I want to remove:
<B>From:</B> Jeffrey S. Smith [sender+0ef8.4bge4@eh2.net]<BR>
Basiclly remove everything starting with the <B>From to the first <BR>.
I'll work on it more tonight.
Thanks,
Chris
