on how to get the actual meat of what I want done working.

Specifically, I want to change certain bits of the body of my emails.
In particular, I want to change things to

     <br><br>--<br><font color="gray" size="2">


Erm, well, first off, <p style="color: gray; font-size:80%"> ... </p>  
would be a much better choice.


But CSS is not supported by all programs.

What is the best way to go about doing this?


Probably an external perl script, actually.  the &amp;mdash; problem  
would be easily solved with sed, but multi-line captures and edits  
can be tricky.


A simpel sed call will do it

:0
* tests
* go here
* to ensure right message
{
   :0fwB
   | sed 's/<br><br>--<br>/<p style="color: gray; font-size:80%">/'


This does not wirk because you use
    sed "s///"
so you should use
    sed "s|||"


   :0fwB
   | sed 's/\d:\d\d:\d\d .M/&</p>/'

             ^               ^  ^  ^
              This will never work.
