I want the text between:

"From"
Heres a sample one, Infact, it would be nice to keep thier ascii art! and text
about where its from... like the example below...
���`����,��,����`�������`����,��,����`�������`����,��,����`����
The Famous Joke of the Day One Liner!
Roses are red, Violets are blue. I'm Schizophrenic and so am I.
The only consistant way I can tell its the end of the text is the From line in
the next message.
so.... a cat inbox |grep
"���`����,��,����`�������`����,��,����`�������`����,��,����`����
The Famous Joke of the Day One Liner!" + any other text, untill you see
"From" >> joker
and it would also have to add a % after each instance.
There is another problem... what if the one liner is "From joes book of
quotes" or something... it will cut that off!, so a better qualifier would
>From *@* (ie anyone@anydomain) so it knows thats a new email.
basic cat and grep im familiar with... but this is a bit more tricky that Ive
done....
