I received several good suggestions that almost did it, but now I realize
I was not clear in my description. Here is a sample set:

U> X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23]
V> Et-cetera:
DE may vary, but it will always be at the top. Unfortunately, the host
may vary, AND will not always be fully qualified.
FG and HI also may vary, and there may be a lot more of them.
JK is the first one I want to KEEP. DE through HI I want to discard.
There may be one or more at position L which I want to KEEP, and which
might not mention a host in our domain.
And as someone else mentioned, it would be nice to drop those (if any)
that appear _after_ P. But don't forget the ':' lest we drop any after
A.
Of course, I could just drop all of them, because I can go into the backup
folder if I ever need them.
BTW, isn't it wierd that some Received headers 'continue' at the ID and
others just run on without a break?
