Thanks for that solution.  I recently did something similar, only I was
filtering subject.  After reading the man pages, I did the following.

:0 hwc:
* ^TO.*list-name
| sed '/^Subject: /s/\[wasting_space\] //' >>mbox
:0 ba:
mbox

Using the f flag looks like a better solution, but I never got a good
feel for what it does from the docs I read.

Now suppose I receive mail from a list where I want to filter both the
body and headers -- does anyone see any problems with this next one.

:0 f
* ^TO.*list-name
| sed '/^Subject: /s/\[wasting_space\] //;-3,/^last line of body$/d'
:0 A:
mbox
