I would try something like this:
# ~ is a metacharacter, but here we need it literally.
OLD_SHELLMETAS="$SHELLMETAS"
SHELLMETAS
:0fb
* <conditions>
| sed -e 1,/^~~*$/d
SHELLMETAS="$OLD_SHELLMETAS"
This should delete everything in the body up to and including the
first line containing nothing but tildes.
