does anyone have a script to do this? maybe it is more simple than i am
thinking. i know there are programs like reformime
(http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/reformime.html) for extracting
mime parts, but maybe a couple lines of perl could suck the forwarded
message out. or are there more subtleties?

also, i would like to be able to reject messages which were not forwarded
as attachments.
