DESCRIPTION

Trim-headers is a simple awk script that removes all headers from the specified folder, either standard input or one of a list of filenames, according to how it's invoked. The program knows about the following headers;

        From 
        From:
        Subject:
        To:
        Cc:
        Date:

All other headers are considered extraneous and are removed.

BUGS

The current incancation of the awk script doesn't understand the idea of multiple line header fields, so a message that has, say, a three line To: list will only have the first line saved...
