Hi Van, I've played with the mail_to_db.pl script a fair amount -- I've created a searchable mailing list archive that uses that script, with some mods, to populate the database. Be sure you're using a fairly recent version of the script, I started with v2.3. Close to the beginning of the program you'll see where an array called '@remove_tail' is defined. It contains the REGEX strings to be matched, and then stripped, from the end of the message. Just edit the elements of the array to be whatever you need, and you should be fine.
