Hi Matt, have you had a look at http://geuz.org/gmsh/doc/texinfo/gmsh-full.html#SEC42 and http://geuz.org/gmsh/doc/texinfo/gmsh-full.html#SEC64 ?
... In the MSH file format (see section 9. File formats), if physical entities are defined, the output mesh only contains those elements that belong to physical entities. ...
