I've found that formail is capable of doing that too. This, however, has 
brought another problem. I've taken the grep line out of the loop and read 
the entire message into a variable as follows:

message=""
while read msg_line
do
    message="${message}${msg_line}\n"
done

I figured I'd then be able to use the whole message with formail as Yorkshire 
Dave suggested (and it increases performance too). However, the whitespace at 
the beginning of multiline headers is being truncated so formail cannot 
interpret the mail correctly. The only references to whitespace are with 
regard to IFS but that doesn't seem to have any effect. Is there any other 
way to turn off this behaviour?

Regards,
Jason
