Particularly if you can't add the '-- ' so sed can chop the things?
Can you tell me how to do this (chop signature with sed)?
Off top of head:
:0bf
| sed -e '/^-- $/q'
This will leave the tearline on the message, and kill everything after
the first tearline. This is probably not good enough for a real-world
application (people leave random tearlines in their messages
sometimes), but it should give you an idea about how to proceed.
Anyway, the "hard" part is the sed script -- see if you can find a
sed tutorial on the web, or try awk or perl.
:0bf
* ^(From|Sender|Reply-to):(.*\<)russ(_at_)otp\(_dot_)illuminet\(_dot_)net\>
| sed -e '/^[ _]\{40,\}/,$d'
# ^^^^^^^ this operator isn't completely standard sed
Hope this helps,
