I think I've successfully written a procmail/sed script which will take a Fare

Forwarded for the benefit of others who might like it, plus those who might
error-check it ;-)

Egad.  What a lot of extra processes.

        sed -n -e '/^\*/,/^$/{;\
                /PRICE/d;\
                /----/d;\
                s/^ */ /;\
                s/.*FROM: /From /;\
                s/ TO: */ to /;\
                s/ *(...)//;\
                s/\.00 *\$/ was \$/;\
                s/\.00.*//;\
                p;}' | tr -d '\012'

Note: make sure your version of sed will handle adding a newline with
\n.... my understanding is that GNU version 3.02.80 is the first version
that did that

Not necessary with the above.
