That should have been

As I have explained before, sed reads one line of the input at a time, and
it will never find \n in the pattern space unless you've used a command that
puts another line into the pattern space without removing the one that is
there already, such as N or G.

One can do it in sed. From a shell prompt,
sed ':a
N
s/regexp1\nregexp2//
ta
P
$ !D'
Inside a .procmailrc:
:0Bbwf
* regexp1^regexp2
| sed -e :a -eN -e 's/regexp1\nregexp2//' -eta -eP -e '$ !D'
