FTR, you're going to run into trouble unless you ensure that you skip this
on cryptographically signed messages.
I tackled this same thing several months ago (for a mailing list
preprocessor), but I did it in a more centralized fashion, expressly
avoiding the need for external scripting:
:0
* ^From:.*@([^
]\.)*\/((excite|lycos|yahoo|(hot|rocket)mail|etc|juno)\.com\>|usa\.net\>|yahoo\.co\.uk)
{
:0
* MATCH ?? ^^(yahoo|rocketmail)
{
STRING=" *DO YOU YAHOO(\!|)\?" # do not include opening
left anchor
DIVIDER=1 # to remove divider line
above $STRING as well
}
:0E
* MATCH ?? ^^hotmail
{
STRING="Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http:"
DIVIDER=1
}
:0E
* MATCH ?? ^^juno
{
STRING="GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!"
DIVIDER=1
}
:0E
* MATCH ?? ^^usa
{
STRING="Get free e-mail and a permanent address at
http://www.amexmail.com/";
DIVIDER=1
}
:0E
* MATCH ?? ^^lycos
{
STRING="Get 250 color business cards for FREE\!"
DIVIDER=0
}
:0E
* MATCH ?? ^^excite
{
STRING="http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/";
DIVIDER=2
}
:0E # then we shouldn't be in this outer brace
{
ESCAPE=on
}
:0
* ! ESCAPE ?? ^^on^^
{
# copy the footer into $MATCH
# if you want the strippage to apply to previous posts
# (which could trim text that follows a quote), remove the
# caret from the condition.
:0B
* $ ^()\/$STRING(.*$)*^^
{
}
# if you don't have head, use sed "$= q"
:0Bbfwi # do not use `r' flag here if you will be saving
in mbox format!
* 1^1 ^.*$
* -1^1 MATCH ?? ^.*$
* $ -${DIVIDER:-0}^0
| head -$=
}
ESCAPE # unset for other uses
}
