My solution comes from my experience, and I was going for correctness,
portability, and clarity, in that order.
I can't resist pointing out that Perl isn't a guaranteed on Unix
systems, either. ;-)
By the way, did you forget to add "--binary-files=without-match" to
your solution? The original poster asked for text files only.
Yes. As Bill Freeman pointed out, I also left out the search
pattern! (I was cut-and-pasting from an xterm where I was actually
testing things, so I'm not sure how I managed to do that, but I guess
I found a way.) They need to build a script interpreter into email.
;-) Oh wait, Microsoft already did, it was called "Outlook 2000" and
we know how that turned out..
