Tom, ( and everyone else :)

I don't have any answers for your wish list, but here is an alternate 
solution.

Below is an AWK script I wrote specifically for the CBIP postings.
I call it strip.awk
It will pass through only the lines between
"BEGIN--cut here--cut here"
 and
"END--cut here--cut here"
To use it, concatenate all the pieces together in the correct order,
and do:

      awk strip < [infile] > [outfile]

Good luck.
-----------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<-----------
BEGIN { FS = " "; do_it = 0 }
$1 == "END--cut"   && $2 == "here--cut" && $3 == "here" { do_it = 0 }
do_it == 1 { print $0 }
$1 == "BEGIN--cut" && $2 == "here--cut" && $3 == "here" { do_it = 1 }
-----------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<-----------
