Is there a way to strip the From: and Subject: lines from incoming mail

man formail

I assume you really mean "extract the Subject and From headers to a
separate file, then proceed as normally": 

    :0c:
    | formail -XSubject: -XFrom: >>file

and not "strip away the Subject and From header from all messages,
then cat them to a file":

    :0
    | formail -ISubject: -IFrom: >>file

Of course, LOGABSTRACT-yes would already write more or less the same
information to the log for you. Perhaps you could instead do a simple
postprocessor for the log file to extract exactly the information you
want?
