| Hello there,

| <snip>

| ...
| </snip>
| end
|
|
| There is exactly one empty line before "begin", then there is one empty
| line after "end", afterwhich there is some text that I would not want.

You shouldn't need to do anything special because uudecode will igonore
everything before and after the relevant section. It doesn't need to be
stripped down to just the attachment. I don't know what it'll do if
there's more than one attachment, and don't have time to test it, but
that's probably not an issue here.

Adjust the path to the redirected output as needed. The scored condition
will hit supremum and stop counting at 23 lines (but will still match
only one), but might be overkill.

Reply to list please, or append "8" to "procmail" in address if you must.
Spammers' unrelenting address harvesting forces me to this...reluctantly.
