Yes, I know it's fairly simple, but rather than reinventing the
wheel.... Does anyone have a program which reads a file of Unix/RFC822
mail messages and strips out selected headers (or, alternatively, keeps
just selected headers)? For someone with 30-40MB of archived email,
stripping out "Received:", "Message-Id:", and "Return-Path:" (if the
same as the "From:" or "Reply-To:") could save several megs.
