Oops, I forgot that part. -s tells formail to split up the input and process it as multiple messages. It must be the last option: formail -I Received: -s > I want to take a mailbox file and strip all but a few headers, leaving > those headers and the accompanying text, for the multiple messages > contained in the mailbox file. Okay, you want to "extract" those headers - at least, that's what formail calls it; that's -X. You probably want to keep the message body as well; that's -k. For example: formail -k -X From -X From: -X Subject: -s (From is the envelope header - you want to keep that to preserve mbox format.) HTH!
