| 1. The first sed command strips off the initial header
Better yet, just use the `b' flag without `h' (`hb' is the default anyway,
though the man page describes that poorly), and you won't need to tell sed
to strip the first head.

Actually, they can be -- though if you use the `b' flag on the recipe, they
don't need to be; but if you had to feed the whole message to the command
line,
| sed -e '1,/^$/d' -e '/^From:/,$ \!d' | formail
with the same comment about the backslash. (Since any From: line in the
first head is deleted by the first instruction, it doesn't trigger the start
of the range for the second instruction.)
