Duke: I have a similar need to strip headers on a server that runs Majordomo regular list but won't run the archive/digest that removes the headers, so I had to do a workaround to send out a custom digest, but full of "noise" (headers). Having virtual hosts has created the problem that prevents using the regular digest on this server. So, there is a Perl5 script "archive.pl" in: #/usr/local/majordomo/Tools that should remove the "noise" of the extra headers and places a separator line of "====" between each message...THAT WOULD BE PERFECT!!! However, not being a Perl person, I haven't figured how to make use of it against each day's digest full of messages for a clean digest. Perhaps this would also work for you if we could get to to work!!! Have you looked at this one...? I've really got the same need, so if you find a better solution, please let me know. If you know how to do some Perl5, then the ideas in archive2.pl look good. Let me know. Thanks!
