   This approach will break if something is tweaked in the systems, headers
   will look slightly differently, or someone happens to quote a message with
   full headers in the body of the post.  The sed will happily remove those.

Not only that but the sed does not handle Received continuation
lines either:

  by wierdlmpc.msci.memphis.edu with SMTP; 7 Jan 1999 05:50:05 -0000
Date: 7 Jan 1999 05:47:00 -0000
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So the above script breaks almost every message.
