I'm not saying this can't be done from a shell script, but it seems like a
typical job for Perl to me. If you are a bit familiar with it, it has some
CPAN modules that make it very easy to do all sorts of message filtering.
This may be overkill for you if it means you have to pick up Perl for just
this, but you may find it to be usefull so...
