sed help

[Kevin Faulkner]

I'm sorry its too hard to read your email, turn off HTML email in Thunderbird by
going to account settings > then select your mailbox then "uncheck" compose HTML
email. 

As for using cut, that might work I had not really thought about that. I'll play
around with it and let ya'll know.

I am familiar with Perl, and I know that it won't work in my situation. sed and
awk will still be around for years to come, and they are still very practical.
