Re: Removing line-wrapped header

Sean answered Volker,

Then there's the little matter that you're claiming you don't know the
header name -- so how is it that you can include the header anchor
above?  If you KNOW the header is "Header:", then you could simply specify
that to formail when you actually invoke it.

What Volker said was that the header name is not unique. I can take that one of two ways:

Every time this piece of crud shows up, the header it's in has a different name. For example,

Thisheader: lots of stuff
  and ihateyourgutsaNdwanttokillyou have a nice day

but the next message with it is like this:

Thatheader: the sun is shining
  and ihateyourGutsandwanttokillyou see you tomorrow

OR ...

It has the same name as a legitimate header line, and Volker wants to take out only the bogus one but keep the legitimate one with the same name. formail -I Headername: will remove both.

In either case, my only suggestion is this:

:0fwh
| formail -c | grep -vi 'offendingstring'
