Hi Era,

No, it comes later.

rmail.out? there is no such file. or is this a variable?
Sorry, I appear to have pasted too directly from my test command line :-)
No, just delete that, and the rest should work just fine.
What it does: It reads the message, but generates a reply header
instead of doing anything much with the message as a whole. The sed
script then extracts the parts we want out of the generated reply
headers.
sed -e '$!N' -e 's/Re: Re: /Re: /' -e 's/\n[ ]*/ /g' | \
looks confusing to me ;-)
It says,
If this is not the last line ("$!"), remember what we have so far
and get the next line of input.
Okay, now we're on the last line of input.
Substitute any "Re: Re: " with a single "Re: ".
Substitute any newlines (optionally followed by random whitespace)
with a single space.
cut -c1-91 # with "Subject: ", 100 characters`

}
This is where the body is trimmed off. The :h flag says to feed only
the headers to the action line.
ok. I tried it, but I always get an empty message with an empty subject :-(
Just remove the <rmail.out part and it should work fine. Sorry for the
confusion.

I looked to the archive on my disk drive (about 1,5 years) but did not
found something similar. I have also checked with your archive address
on the web, but there was nothing about deleting the body.
I'm not sure I understand. What do you have on your disk drive? The
"Best Of" archive?
The :h flag is described in the manual. Many scripts use it but I
guess the descriptions of what recipes do usually don't mention it
explicitly because it should be clear from the context.
Hope this helps,
