How about a quick hack that'll make it all work while the local
experts are coming up with the perfect solution? =)

Tony, if all the world were a nail, you'd use perl. (Or something
like that.)
There is *no* reason to be loading that humongo perl thing into memory
for each message he gets. And even if formail, which four people have
already mentioned, couldn't do this trivially, and even if procmail
couldn't delete a header natively all by itself, well, sed would be
fine here.
| sed '1,/^$/ d'
But we don't need it, or perl. (Though if we did, we would want the
w and h flags on the recipe.)
