cleaning email headers (for Orbis, for instance)

[Jukka-Pekka Takala <jtakala>]

There is a handy routine in Carl Distefano and Robert Holmgren's
XYWWWEB.U2 for getting rid of unwanted email headings. It is called XHDR
and does a superb job, keeping only those few headings that most of us
would want to keep anyway. I haven't used in on Eudora files, but I
assume they are regular text files, or close enough, if people get good
results when Orbising them -- so XHDR should be able to deal with them.
