In a message processed with a .procmailrc recipe, I search for two
lines by devising separate character strings (e.g. xxxxxxx, xxxxxx)
with wild cards (e.g. ., *) amongst the character strings and a return
in the middle that connects the two character strings, then remove the
intended lines with the return found in the message.
If any of you are willing, I need to have it written for processing a
message in a recipe *and* processing a file and string. I wonder if a
.pl file will cover all three?
