Interesting. Noted.

Perfect... exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a million.
I tried to do it originally with sed, but couldn't figure out a way to
make it match a newline.

Besides changing the tr to a sed operation, note addition of the lockfile 
flag on the flags line - this is important, or else two concurrent message 
processes could ruin your todo file.  

d'oh! thanks for the reminder.
