Re: getting rid of all but certain headers

I'm a little tired of some of the gross excesses I'm seeing in headers, some  
X-Headers, some non-X-headers that should be X-Headers.

Is there a way to have procmail/formail strip all but a certain set of  
headers that I would define somewhere?

rather than zaping them, you might consider renaming them instead
  :0fwh
  * ^Bad-Header:
  | formail -R Bad-Header: X-Bad-Header:
Or if you want to get fancier with a recursive INCLUDERC, put the
following in it's own file
   # rename-header.rc
   :0
   * ^\/(Bad-Header|Bogus-Header|Somebody-Should-Read-RFC822):
   {
     :0fwh
     | formail -R $MATCH X-$MATCH

     INCLUDERC=$_
   }
