Removing blocks of text

2002-10-27 20:34:41
I've been trying to come up with a recipe to remove blocks of text (ads) from a 
newsletter I receive daily.  The blocks have 
distinctive start and end lines so I'd hope it would be relatively easy.  
Unfortunately my brain seems to be on vacation.

Here's a sample ad block:

/-=-=-[advertisement]-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\
I CAN HELP ANYONE GET MORE MONEY FAST---and I can prove it! 
<insert several more lines of garbage here>
\-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-/

I need a recipe that will remove those distinctive lines and everything in 
between them while leaving the rest of the message 
intact.  Help?
