Well, now that egroups.com has changed the way it handles its advertising
(putting the adverts annoying at the top of the email) I wrote the
following perl script to run from procmail and thought you guys might also
like it:

** start stripegroupsadd.pl **

#!/usr/bin/perl
$printline = 1;
while (<STDIN>)
{

        # Don't print from start of advert
        if ($_ =~ /-~-~>/i)
        {
                $printline = 0;
        }

        if ($printline == 1)
        {
                print $_;
        }

        # Continue printing after advert
        if ($_ =~ /-_->/i)
        {
                $printline = 1;
        }
}
print "\n--- egroups.com advert striped ---\n";

** end **

It's very simple, but it works, although for some reason its putting a
blank line at the top of the message, not sure why thou.

Mark
