I want to do a text search on just the newly added text.  Is
there a way to do this in Procmail?

I've thought about doing that, but never did....

I don't know that there is a way to do it in procmail without feeding the  
body to grep "^\>" and then you'd have to take into account multiple  
citations ie

someone wrote:
this is a nested quote
and I want to get rid of it
using procmail

that's a good idea
but how do you expect to accomplish it?

I fianlly gave up on the idea, thinking it would cause more problems than it  
would solve (ie when people respond point by point and I can't see what they  
are quoting...

It would be nicer if folks just trimmed the quotes to what was necessary...
