Just in case various people might find this useful, I thought
I'd post my little macro:

	@m  |sed -f .mhstrip|rcvstore +

You complete the invocation with the folder name to store the article
in.  The file .mhstrip resides in my News directory (%p in rn-ese),
and has the following contents:

--- cut here ---
/^$/,$b
/^From /d
/^Relay-/d
/^Posting-/d
/^Path:/d
/^Article-/d
/^Lines:/d
/^Xpath:/d
/^Xref:/d
/^Distribution/d
/^Date-Received:/s//Date:/
/^Approved:/d
/^Expires:/d
/^>From:/s//From:/
/^From:/s/From: \([^ ][^ ]*\) (\([^)][^)]*\))/From: \2 <\1>/
/^Subject:/s/:/: (Net)/
--- cut here ---

Many of the lines are optional, and just get rid of junk that
I don't want to see, but the three `From' lines are necessary,
as is the Date-Received line.
