And looks like I found a typo.  Two, actually.

The regex should have a ^ in there, like so:

 +sed -n -e '1,/^-- /p' ${TEMPFILE} |\


Likewise, this

> +#sed -n -e '/-- /,//p' ${TEMPFILE} >> ${BODYFILE}

Should be:

 +#sed -n -e '/^-- /,//p' ${TEMPFILE} >> ${BODYFILE}

Other than that, it should work.  The first sed statement will return
everything before the first line beginning with "-- "  The second sed
statement will return the first line beginning with "-- " and
everything after.  The carrots will take care of lines that contain, but
don't begin with, a sig delimiter.  If there is no sig delimiter, the
first statement will return the entire text and the second statement will
return nothing.
